[There are]..... three different types of friendship: friendships of utility, friendships of pleasure, and friendships of the good. Friendships of utility are those where people are on cordial terms primarily because each person benefits from the other in some way. Friendships of pleasure are those where individuals seek out each other’s company because of the joy it brings. Most important of all are friendships of the good. These are friendships based upon mutual respect, admiration for each other’s virtues, and a strong desire to aid and assist the other person because one recognizes their essential goodness. ~ Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Book VIII
