[10]
Or if it be impossible to feel pain and pleasure at the same
time, at all events after indulging in pleasure they regret it a little later, and wish
they had never acquired a taste for such indulgences; since the bad are always changing
their minds.
Thus a bad man appears to be devoid even of affection for himself, because he has nothing
lovable in his nature. If then such a state of mind is utterly miserable, we should do our
utmost to shun wickedness and try to be virtuous. That is the way both to be friends with
ourselves and to win the friendship of others.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
