Our next business after this is doubtless to discuss Pleasure. For pleasure is thought to be especially congenial to mankind; and
this is why pleasure and pain are employed in the education of the young, as means whereby
to steer their course. Moreover, to like and to dislike the right things is thought to be
a most important element in the formation of a virtuous character. For pleasure and pain
extend throughout the whole of life, and are of great moment and influence for virtue and
happiness; since men choose what is pleasant and avoid what is painful.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
