Let this law be established in friendship: neither ask dishonorable things, nor do them, if asked. And dishonorable it certainly is, and not to be allowed, for anyone to plead in defense of sins in general and especially of those against the State. M. Tullius Cicero. De Amicitia. Laelius on friendship. Section 40.
