If a difference in political views should arise, care must be taken lest it appear, not only that friendship has been put aside, but that open hostility has been aroused. For nothing is more discreditable than to be at war with one with whom you have lived on intimate terms. M. Tullius Cicero. Laelius on friendship. De Amictia. Section 77.
