If on the other hand we are to say that Prudence is useful not in helping us to act
virtuously but in helping us to become virtuous, then it is of no use to those who are
virtuous already. Nor is it of any use either to those who are not, since we may just as
well take the advice of others who possess Prudence as possess Prudence ourselves. We may
be content to do as we do in regard to our health; we want to be healthy, yet we do not
learn medicine.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
