ON FAMILIAR INTIMACY.—To this matter before all you must attend, that you be never so closely connected with any of your former intimates or friends as to come down to the same acts as he does. If you do not observe this rule, you will ruin yourself. But if the thought arises in your mind, “I shall seem disobliging to him and he will not have the same feeling towards me,” remember that nothing is done without cost, nor is it possible for a man if he does not do the same things to be the same man that he was. Choose then which of the two you will have, to be equally loved by those by whom you were formerly loved, being the same with your former self; or, being superior, not to obtain from your friends the same that you did before.

白话

在人际交往中,你首先要留意:不要和过去的亲密朋友或熟人走得太近,以至于跟着他做同样的事。如果不守住这条规则,你会毁了自己。如果你心里冒出“这样会显得我不近人情,他也不会像以前那样对我”的念头,要记住:没有一件事是不付代价的,一个人如果不再做同样的事,就不可能还是原来那个人。所以你要选清楚:是继续和从前一样,被原来那些人同样地喜欢;还是变得更好,但不再从朋友那里得到和以前一样的回应。
