That
If you choose your friend on the ground that you are virtuous and want virtuous company, you are no nearer to true friendship than if you choose them for commercial reasons. Besides, who are you that you should be setting a price upon your friendship? It is enough for any man that he has the divine power of making friends, and he must lever it to that power to determine who his friends shall be.
I wonder why "that" is used grammatically.
