In this short book, which is one of the greatest ever written on the subject, the famous Roman politician and philosopher Cicero offers a compelling guide to finding, keeping, and appreciating friends. With wit and wisdom, Cicero shows us not only how to build friendships but also why they must be a key part of our lives. For, as Cicero says, life without friends is not worth living. Filled with timeless advice and insights, Cicero's heartfelt and moving classic written in 44 BC and originally titled De Amicitia has inspired readers for more than two thousand years, from St. Augustine and Dante to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Presented here in a lively new translation with the original Latin on facing pages and an inviting introduction, How to Be a Friend explores how to choose the right friends, how to avoid the pitfalls of friendship, and how to live with friends in good times and bad. Cicero also praises what he sees as the deepest kind of friendship one in which two people find in each other "another self" or a kindred soul. An honest and eloquent guide to finding and treasuring true friends, How to Be a Friend speaks as powerfully today as when it was first written.  aIn Latin with parallel English translations on facing pages. 0aConduct of lifexPhilosophyvEarly works to 1800. 0aFriendshipvEarly works to 1800. 4aConducta (Etica) 4aAmistad1 aFreeman, Philip, d1961- etranslator,ewriter of introduction.12aCicero, Marcus Tullius.tLaelius de amicitia.12aCicero, Marcus Tullius.tLaelius de amicitia.lEnglish. 0aAncient wusdom for modern readers
