..for, on account of our good qualities, we shall reform the character of friends, by means of our conversations. But if on account of our good qualities, how not also of our bad ones? For, just as it is suitable on account of the good cheer of the former, so too thanks to sympathy for the latter, to endure fearless speech through which we are helped.
