Also the activity of contemplation will be found to possess in the
highest degree the quality that is termed self-sufficiency; for while it is true that the
wise man equally with the just man and the rest requires the necessaries of life, yet,
these being adequately supplied, whereas the just man needs other persons towards whom or
with whose aid he may act justly, and so likewise do the temperate man and the brave man
and the others, the wise man on the contrary can also contemplate by himself, and the more
so the wiser he is; no doubt he will study better with the aid of fellow-workers, but
still he is the most self-sufficient of men.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
