[2]
By the emotions I
mean anger, desire, and the like, of which we have already spoken; by habits
virtues and vices, of which also we have previously spoken, as well as the kind
of things men individually and deliberately choose and practise. The ages are
youth, the prime of life, and old age.
By fortune I mean noble birth, wealth, power, and their
contraries, and, in general, good or bad fortune.1
