Dispute may arise however as to the value of the service rendered. Is it to be measured
by the benefit to the recipient, and the return made on that basis, or by the cost to the
doer? The recipient will say that what he received was only a trifle to his benefactor, or
that he could have got it from someone else: he beats down the value. The other on the
contrary will protest that it was the most valuable thing he had to give, or that it could
not have been obtained from anybody else, or that it was bestowed at a time of danger or
in some similar emergency.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
