[7]
If we are to look to the end, and congratulate a man
when dead not as actually being blessed, but because he has been blessed in the past,
surely it is strange if at the actual time when a man is happy that fact cannot be truly
predicated of him, because we are unwilling to call the living happy owing to the
vicissitudes of fortune, and owing to our conception of happiness as something permanent
and not readily subject to change, whereas the wheel of fortune often turns full circle in
the same person's experience.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
