Now in cases where
several such pursuits are subordinate to some single faculty—as bridle-making
and the other trades concerned with horses' harness are subordinate to horsemanship, and
this and every other military pursuit to the science of strategy, and similarly other arts
to different arts again—in all these cases, I say, the ends of the master arts
are things more to be desired than the ends of the arts subordinate to them; since the
latter ends are only pursued for the sake of the former.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
