Again, since activities differ in moral value, and some are to be adopted, others to be
avoided, and others again are neutral, the same is true also of their pleasures: for each
activity has a pleasure of its own. Thus the pleasure of a good activity is morally good,
that of a bad one morally bad; for even desires for noble things are praised and desires
for base things blamed; but the pleasures contained in our activities are more intimately
connected with them than the appetites which prompt them, for the appetite is both
separate in time and distinct in its nature from the activity, whereas the pleasure is
closely linked to the activity, indeed so inseparable from it as to raise a doubt whether
the activity is not the same thing as the pleasure.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
