“The first draught serveth for health the second for pleasure the third for shame and the fourth for madness.”
Anacharsis
“To amuse oneself in order that one may exert oneself, as Anacharsis puts it, seems right; for amusement is a sort of relaxation, and we need relaxation because we cannot work continuously.”
Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics“The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, and the fourth for madness.”
Anacharsis“The first draught serveth for health the second for pleasure the third for shame and the fourth for madness.”
Anacharsis“Wise men argue causes and fools decide them.”
Anacharsis“Now to exert oneself and work for the sake of amusement seems silly and utterly childish. But to amuse oneself in order that one may exert oneself, as Anacharsis puts it, seems right; for amusement is a sort of relaxation, and we need relaxation because we cannot work continuously. Relaxation, then, is not an end; for it is taken for the sake of activity.”
Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics“A vine bears three grapes, the first of pleasure, the second of drunkenness, and the third of repentance.”
