Ordinary people identify it with some obvious and
visible good, such as pleasure or wealth or honor—some say one thing and some
another, indeed very often the same man says different things at different times: when he
falls sick he thinks health is happiness, when he is poor, wealth. At other times, feeling
conscious of their own ignorance, men admire those who propound something grand and above
their heads; and it has been held by some thinkers1 that beside the many good things we have
mentioned, there exists another Good, that is good in itself, and stands to all those
goods as the cause of their being good.
