We have stated the frame of mind which leads men
to pity; and the things which arouse this feeling are clearly shown by the
definition. They are all painful and distressing things that are also
destructive, and all that are ruinous; and all evils of which fortune is the
cause, if they are great.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
