The relationship of brothers is laid out with the following quote: "The friendship of brothers has the characteristics found in that of comrades and in general between people who are like each other, is as much as they belong more to each other and start with a love for each other from their very birth, and in as much as those born to the same parents and brought up together and similarly educated are more akin in character; and the test of time has been applied most fully and convincingly in their case".<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For these reasons, it is the job of the older brother to influence the ethics of the younger brother by being a person of good action. Aristotle says "by imitating and reenacting the acts of good people, a child becomes habituated to good action". Over time the younger brother will develop the good actions of the older brother as well and be like him. Aristotle also adds this on the matter of retaining the action of doing good once imitated: "Once the habits of ethics or immorality become entrenched, they are difficult to break."<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The good habits that are created by the influence of the older brother become habit in the life of the younger brother and turn out to be seemingly permanent. It is the role of the older brother to be a positive influence on the development of the younger brother's upbringing when it comes to the education of ethics and good actions. When positive characteristics are properly displayed to the younger brother by the older brother, these habits and characteristics are imitated and foster an influential understanding of good ethics and positive actions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Famous_brothers">Famous brothers</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Eugene_Guillaume_-_the_Gracchi.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Eugene_Guillaume_-_the_Gracchi.jpg/220px-Eugene_Guillaume_-_the_Gracchi.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="149" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Eugene_Guillaume_-_the_Gracchi.jpg/330px-Eugene_Guillaume_-_the_Gracchi.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Eugene_Guillaume_-_the_Gracchi.jpg/440px-Eugene_Guillaume_-_the_Gracchi.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2894" data-file-height="1964" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Gracchi" class="mw-redirect" title="Gracchi">Gracchi</a> brothers</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim_1875.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim_1875.jpg/220px-Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim_1875.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="336" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim_1875.jpg/330px-Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim_1875.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim_1875.jpg 2x" data-file-width="393" data-file-height="600" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Mannerheim_(family)" title="Mannerheim (family)">Mannerheim</a> brothers; from left to right: Carl and <a href="/wiki/Gustaf_Mannerheim" class="mw-redirect" title="Gustaf Mannerheim">Gustaf</a></figcaption></figure> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Gracchi" class="mw-redirect" title="Gracchi">Gracchi</a>, Ancient Roman reformers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/George_Washington_Adams" title="George Washington Adams">George Washington Adams</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Adams_II" title="John Adams II">John Adams II</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Charles_Francis_Adams_Sr." title="Charles Francis Adams Sr.">Charles Francis Adams Sr.</a>, politicians</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ben_Affleck" title="Ben Affleck">Ben Affleck</a> and <a href="/wiki/Casey_Affleck" title="Casey Affleck">Casey Affleck</a>, actors</li> <li><a href="/wiki/The_Alexander_Brothers" title="The Alexander Brothers">The Alexander Brothers</a>; musicians</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Alec_Baldwin" title="Alec Baldwin">Alec Baldwin</a>, <a href="/wiki/William_Baldwin" title="William Baldwin">William Baldwin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Baldwin" title="Stephen Baldwin">Stephen Baldwin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Baldwin" title="Daniel Baldwin">Daniel Baldwin</a>, also known as the <a href="/wiki/Baldwin_brothers" class="mw-redirect" title="Baldwin brothers">Baldwin brothers</a>; actors</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Barrymore" title="John Barrymore">John</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lionel_Barrymore" title="Lionel Barrymore">Lionel Barrymore</a>, actors</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Beau_Biden" title="Beau Biden">Beau Biden</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hunter_Biden" title="Hunter Biden">Hunter Biden</a>, sons of <a href="/wiki/Joe_Biden" title="Joe Biden">Joe Biden</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Beau_Bridges" title="Beau Bridges">Beau Bridges</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Bridges" title="Jeff Bridges">Jeff Bridges</a>, actors</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Chang_and_Eng_Bunker" title="Chang and Eng Bunker">Chang and Eng Bunker</a>, the original <a href="/wiki/Siamese_twins" class="mw-redirect" title="Siamese twins">Siamese twins</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/George_W._Bush" title="George W.
