FRIENDLINESS

It is related of Alexander the Great, that he won the hearts

of his soldiers by calling them “his fellow footmen.” And of

Aristotle, the better to instruct his hearers, that he read not

to them--as other philosophers used to do--from a lofty seat,

but walking and talking with them familiarly, as with friends,

in Apollo’s porch; so he made them great philosophers. (Text.)
