As, therefore, in friendship, those who are superior
should lower themselves, so, in a measure, should
they lift up their inferiors. For there are certain
men who render friendships disagreeable by thinking
themselves slighted—a thing which rarely happens,
except in the case of persons who think that they
really deserve to be slighted; but they ought to
be relieved of such an opinion not by words only
but by action.
