AristotleRead
Between friends there is no need of justice.
Interpretation
True friendship transcends the need for justice and fairness.
This quote by Aristotle emphasizes the nature of genuine friendship, suggesting that between true friends, ethical standards or the formalities of justice become irrelevant. In a close friendship, trust and understanding allow for a deeper connection that prioritizes support and compassion over strict adherence to fairness or justice, reinforcing the idea that strong bonds can exist outside societal norms.
