Goodwill again makes many to become one. For if many are friends, they become one; in whom there is but one spirit and one opinion. Cic. de Off. I. 17, § 57. We note, too, that in friendship corrections are pleasing. They have their sting, but they cause no pain. We are pierced by the words of blame, but are delighted with the anxiety that good-will shows.
