[5]
In prosperity again the company of friends sweetens our hours of leisure, and also
affords the pleasure of being conscious of their pleasure in our welfare.
Hence it may be thought that we ought to be eager to invite our friends to share our good
fortune （since it is noble to wish to bestow benefits）, but reluctant to
ask them to come to us in misfortune （since we should impart to others as little
as possible of what is evil: whence the proverb ‘My own misfortune is
enough’）. We should summon our friends to our aid chiefly when they
will be of great service to us at the cost of little trouble to themselves.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
