The objects and the personal relationships with which friendship is concerned appear, as
was said at the outset,1 to be the same as
those which are the sphere of justice. For in every partnership we find mutual rights of
some sort, and also friendly feeling: one notes that shipmates and fellow-soldiers speak
of each other as ‘my friend,’ and so in fact do the partners in any
joint undertaking. But their friendship is limited to the extent of their association in
their common business, for so also are their mutual rights as associates. Again, the
proverb says ‘Friends' goods are common property,’ and this is
correct, since community is the essence of friendship.
