Therefore, for the sake of
illustration, let us ascertain what happiness, generally speaking, is, and what
its parts consist in; for all who exhort or dissuade discuss happiness and the
things which conduce or are detrimental to it. For one should do the things
which procure happiness or one of its parts, or increase instead of diminishing
it, and avoid doing those things which destroy or hinder it or bring about what
is contrary to it.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
