And this being so,
the happy man can never become miserable; though it is true he will not be supremely
blessed if he encounters the misfortunes of a Priam. Nor yet assuredly will he be variable
and liable to change; for he will not be dislodged from his happiness easily, nor by
ordinary misfortunes, but only by severe and frequent disasters, nor will he recover from
such disasters and become happy again quickly, but only, if at all, after a long term of
years, in which he has had time to compass high distinctions and achievements.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
