Possibly however this view is mistaken. In matters of emotion and of action, words are
less convincing than deeds; when therefore our theories are at variance with palpable
facts, they provoke contempt, and involve the truth in their own discredit. If one who censures
pleasure is seen sometimes to desire it himself, his swerving towards it is thought to
show that he really believes that all pleasure is desirable; for the mass of mankind
cannot discriminate.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
