The greatest bane of friendship is the lust for money, with the most worthy men it is the strife for preferment and glory, and from this source frequently have sprung the deadliest enmities between the dearest friends. M. Tullius Cicero quoting Scipio. De Amictia. Laelius on friendship. Section 33.
