Neither can there well be quarrels between men who are friends

for pleasure's sake: because supposing them to delight in living

together then both attain their desire; or if not a man would be

put in a ridiculous light who should find fault with another for

not pleasing him, since it is in his power to forbear intercourse

with him. But the Friendship because of advantage is very liable

to fault-finding; because, as the parties use one another with a

view to advantage, the requirements are continually enlarging,

and they think they have less than of right belongs to them, and

find fault because though justly entitled they do not get as much

as they want: while they who do the kindnesses, can never come up

to the requirements of those to whom they are being done.
