4633. CONCERNING THE NEIGHBOR. What the neighbor is, may be known from its opposite. He who loves himself, says he is neighbor to himself, and acts accordingly: next to himself [he treats as neighbors]. his friends, for the sake of honor, of gain, of enjoyments and of social interaction. Others he does not style neighbor, except as far as they favor him.
