[13]
And if, as we said, a man's life is determined by his activities, no
supremely happy man can ever become miserable. For he will never do hateful or base
actions, since we hold that the truly good and wise man will bear all kinds of fortune in a
seemly way, and will always act in the noblest manner that the circumstances allow; even
as a good general makes the most effective use of the forces at his disposal, and a good
shoemaker makes the finest shoe possible out of the leather supplied him, and so on with
all the other crafts and professions.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
