  1   I,  6  |          have been introduced by friends of our own. Yet it would

  8   I,  8  |        had lost good children or friends by death. As we said, then,
  9   I,  11 |   descendants and of all a man’s friends should not affect his happiness
 10   I,  11 |         the misadventures of our friends taken as a whole, and it

 20 VIII,  1 |        power are thought to need friends most of all; for what is
 21 VIII,  1 |       most laudable form towards friends? Or how can prosperity be
 22 VIII,  1 |    guarded and preserved without friends? The greater it is, the
 23 VIII,  1 |      other misfortunes men think friends are the only refuge. It
 24 VIII,  1 |         going together"-for with friends men are more able both to
 25 VIII,  1 |          enemy; and when men are friends they have no need of justice,
 26 VIII,  1 |      praise those who love their friends, and it is thought to be
 27 VIII,  1 |          fine thing to have many friends; and again we think it is
 28 VIII,  1 |        that are good men and are friends.~Not a few things about
 29 VIII,  1 |          and say like people are friends, whence come the sayings "
 30 VIII,  1 |       people or people cannot be friends if they are wicked, and
 31 VIII,  2 |          how could one call them friends when they do not know their
 32 VIII,  2 |     their mutual feelings? To be friends, then, the must be mutually
 33 VIII,  3 |          why they quickly become friends and quickly cease to be
 34 VIII,  3 |     those who wish well to their friends for their sake are most
 35 VIII,  3 |        their sake are most truly friends; for they do this by reason
 36 VIII,  3 |        it all the qualities that friends should have. For all friendship
 37 VIII,  3 |      virtue of the nature of the friends themselves; for in the case
 38 VIII,  3 | qualities also are alike in both friends, and that which is good
 39 VIII,  3 |        other to friendship or be friends till each has been found
 40 VIII,  3 |         to each other wish to be friends, but are not friends unless
 41 VIII,  3 |          be friends, but are not friends unless they both are lovable
 42 VIII,  4 |          ought to happen between friends. Friendship for the sake
 43 VIII,  4 |          most permanent when the friends get the same thing from
 44 VIII,  4 |        amour are both less truly friends and less constant. Those
 45 VIII,  4 |          constant. Those who are friends for the sake of utility
 46 VIII,  4 |        then, even bad men may be friends of each other, or good men
 47 VIII,  4 |     clearly only good men can be friends; for bad men do not delight
 48 VIII,  4 |        For men apply the name of friends even to those whose motive
 49 VIII,  4 |        sense children are called friends. Therefore we too ought
 50 VIII,  4 |      perhaps to call such people friends, and say that there are
 51 VIII,  4 |         friendship that they are friends, since even the pleasant
 52 VIII,  4 |        do the same people become friends for the sake of utility
 53 VIII,  4 |     these kinds, bad men will be friends for the sake of pleasure
 54 VIII,  4 |      other, but good men will be friends for their own sake, i.e.
 55 VIII,  4 |       goodness. These, then, are friends without qualification; the
 56 VIII,  4 |    qualification; the others are friends incidentally and through
 57 VIII,  5 |         sour people seem to make friends easily; for there is little
 58 VIII,  5 | well-disposed rather than actual friends. For there is nothing so
 59 VIII,  5 |     nothing so characteristic of friends as living together (since
 60 VIII,  5 |        enjoy the same things, as friends who are companions seem
 61 VIII,  6 |         is why, while men become friends quickly, old men do not;
 62 VIII,  6 |        because men do not become friends with those in whom they
 63 VIII,  6 |       people do not quickly make friends either. But such men may
 64 VIII,  6 |        need; but they are hardly friends because they do not spend
 65 VIII,  6 |           have no need of useful friends, but do need pleasant friends;
 66 VIII,  6 |    friends, but do need pleasant friends; for they wish to live with
 67 VIII,  6 |         is why they look out for friends who are pleasant. Perhaps
 68 VIII,  6 |         they should look out for friends who, being pleasant, are
 69 VIII,  6 |         the characteristics that friends should have.~People in positions
 70 VIII,  6 |        of authority seem to have friends who fall into distinct classes;
 71 VIII,  6 |          people, and their other friends they choose as being clever
 72 VIII,  6 |        involve equality; for the friends get the same things from
 73 VIII,  7 |          then they are no longer friends, and do not even expect
 74 VIII,  7 |    inferiors do not expect to be friends; nor do men of no account
 75 VIII,  7 |          no account expect to be friends with the best or wisest
 76 VIII,  7 |         exactly up to what point friends can remain friends; for
 77 VIII,  7 |         point friends can remain friends; for much can be taken away
 78 VIII,  7 |          of the question whether friends really wish for their friends
 79 VIII,  7 |    friends really wish for their friends the greatest goods, e.g.
 80 VIII,  7 |         since in that case their friends will no longer be friends
 81 VIII,  7 |        friends will no longer be friends to them, and therefore will
 82 VIII,  7 |        good things for them (for friends are good things). The answer
 83 VIII,  8 |          is those who love their friends that are praised, loving
 84 VIII,  8 |         characteristic virtue of friends, so that it is only those
 85 VIII,  8 |         measure that are lasting friends, and only their friendship
 86 VIII,  8 |        that even unequals can be friends; they can be equalized.
 87 VIII,  8 |      themselves nor to let their friends do so. But wicked men have
 88 VIII,  8 |          themselves), but become friends for a short time because
 89 VIII,  8 |         each other’s wickedness. Friends who are useful or pleasant
 90 VIII,  9 |          at least men address as friends their fellow-voyagers and
 91 VIII,  9 |      them. And the proverb "what friends have is common property"
 92 VIII,  9 |  exhibited towards those who are friends in a fuller sense; e.g.
 93 VIII,  11|        slave then, one cannot be friends with him. But qua man one
 94 VIII,  13|         respect of each some are friends on an equality and others
 95 VIII,  13|          equally good men become friends but a better man can make
 96 VIII,  13|        but a better man can make friends with a worse, and similarly
 97 VIII,  13|          pleasure or utility the friends may be equal or unequal
 98 VIII,  13|      expected. For those who are friends on the ground of virtue
 99  IX,  2  |      benefits rather than oblige friends, as we must pay back a loan
100  IX,  3  |    utility or pleasure, when our friends no longer have these attributes.
101  IX,  3  |      attributes that we were the friends; and when these have failed
102  IX,  3  |        differences arise between friends when they are not friends
103  IX,  3  |        friends when they are not friends in the spirit in which they
104  IX,  3  |       cases, but only when one’s friends are incurable in their wickedness?
105  IX,  3  | developed man, how could they be friends when they neither approved
106  IX,  3  |        as we saw) they cannot be friends; for they cannot live together.
107  IX,  3  |         think we ought to oblige friends rather than strangers, so
108  IX,  3  |          those who have been our friends we ought to make some allowance
109  IX,  4  |        do to their children, and friends do who have come into conflict.
110  IX,  4  |      have these attributes to be friends. Whether there is or is
111  IX,  5  |        possible for people to be friends if they have not come to
112  IX,  5  |    goodwill are not for all that friends; for they only wish well
113  IX,  6  |        any more than they can be friends, since they aim at getting
114  IX,  8  |          single soul", and "what friends have is common property",
115  IX,  8  |         acts for the sake of his friends and his country, and if
116  IX,  8  |          on condition that their friends will gain more; for while
117  IX,  9  |          the happy man will need friends or not. It is said that
118  IX,  9  |  self-sufficient have no need of friends; for they have the things
119  IX,  9  |    fortune is kind, what need of friends?" But it seems strange,
120  IX,  9  |         happy man, not to assign friends, who are thought the greatest
121  IX,  9  |          is nobler to do well by friends than by strangers, the good
122  IX,  9  |         is asked whether we need friends more in prosperity or in
123  IX,  9  |    better to spend his days with friends and good men than with strangers
124  IX,  9  |    Therefore the happy man needs friends.~What then is it that the
125  IX,  9  |         Is it that most identify friends with useful people? Of such
126  IX,  9  |      with useful people? Of such friends indeed the supremely happy
127  IX,  9  |       those whom one makes one’s friends because of their pleasantness,
128  IX,  9  |    because he does not need such friends he is thought not to need
129  IX,  9  |        he is thought not to need friends.~But that is surely not
130  IX,  9  |       virtuous men who are their friends are pleasant to good men (
131  IX,  9  |    supremely happy man will need friends of this sort, since his
132  IX,  9  |          therefore need virtuous friends.~
133  IX,  10 |    Should we, then, make as many friends as possible, or-as in the
134  IX,  10 |      have an excessive number of friends?~To friends made with a
135  IX,  10 |  excessive number of friends?~To friends made with a view to utility
136  IX,  10 |       its performance. Therefore friends in excess of those who are
137  IX,  10 |         have no need of them. Of friends made with a view to pleasure,
138  IX,  10 |      enough.~But as regards good friends, should we have as many
139  IX,  10 |     limit to the number of one’s friends, as there is to the size
140  IX,  10 |     certain fixed points. So for friends too there is a fixed number
141  IX,  10 |        Further, they too must be friends of one another, if they
142  IX,  10 |          to seek to have as many friends as possible, but as many
143  IX,  10 |         find many people who are friends in the comradely way of
144  IX,  10 |      people. Those who have many friends and mix intimately with
145  IX,  10 |          on the character of our friends themselves, and we must
146  IX,  11 |                    11~Do we need friends more in good fortune or
147  IX,  11 |     fortune, and so it is useful friends that one wants in this case;
148  IX,  11 |         seek for good men as our friends, since it is more desirable
149  IX,  11 |         For the very presence of friends is pleasant both in good
150  IX,  11 |          grief is lightened when friends sorrow with us. Hence one
151  IX,  11 |         The very seeing of one’s friends is pleasant, especially
152  IX,  11 |     being a cause of pain to his friends. For this reason people
153  IX,  11 |       guard against making their friends grieve with them, and, unless
154  IX,  11 |         pain that ensues for his friends, and in general does not
155  IX,  11 |          grief, and love them as friends and companions in sorrow.
156  IX,  11 |      other hand, the presence of friends in our prosperity implies
157  IX,  11 |      that we ought to summon our friends readily to share our good
158  IX,  11 |    misfortune". We should summon friends to us most of all when they
159  IX,  11 |      both persons); but when our friends are prosperous we should
160  IX,  11 |        activities (for they need friends for these too), but be tardy
161  IX,  11 |         happens.~The presence of friends, then, seems desirable in
162  IX,  12 |       and for its origin, so for friends the most desirable thing
163  IX,  12 |     occupy themselves with their friends; and so some drink together,
164  IX,  12 |          wish to live with their friends, they do and share in those
