上下文系:匹夫不可以不慎取友.友者.所以相有也.道不同.何以相有也.
The word friend indicates sharing of interests (此处双关,一者有共同利益、二者有共同兴趣;所谓“只有永远的利益,没有永远的朋友”——译者注), background, objectives to achieve and, most importantly, doctrine (hence Tao, the way of pursuing one's goals).
Quoted from Records of Believes entitled Great Strategies (或音译,Dalve) by Tzu (或:Xunzi、Xun Kuang,荀况) during the Warring States period in ancient China
