Things are
the result of calculation which are done because, of the goods already
mentioned, they appear to be expedient either as an end or means to an end,
provided they are done by reason of their being expedient; for even the
intemperate do certain things that are expedient, for the sake, not of
expediency, but of pleasure. Passion and anger are the causes of acts of
revenge.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
