Friends will not demand from each other anything unless it is honorable and just, and they will not only cherish and love, but they will also revere, each other. For he who takes reverence from friendship, takes away its brightest jewel. M. Tullius Cicero. De Amictia. Laelius on friendship. Section 82.
