I didn't read this exact version of "laelius on friendship" - I read the Perseus collection version. I found it very helpful to consider the ancient philosophical underpinnings to friendship, especially as it shed light on some of the Apostle Paul's writings, in Philippians 1:6.

Great orator that he was, he had no compunction about deceit (if not treachery), manipulation and self aggrandizement. And he could couch an admonishment in praise in such a way as to make his target hardly notice or take offense. Not unlike many politicians today.
