And that which is more agreeable rather than that
which is less so; for all things pursue pleasure and desire it for its own sake;
and it is by these conditions that the good and the end have been defined. And

longer time.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
