Note 41 — LECTURE III. THE PROVERBS OF DIFFERENT NATIONS COMPARED.
Reading edition
In this respect the Latin proverb, Mores amici noveris, non oderis, on which Horace has furnished so exquisite a comment (Sat. i. 3, 24–93), and which finds its graceful equivalent in the Italian, Ama l’amico tuo con il difetto suo (Love your friend with his fault), is worthy of all admiration.
