“But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain
was
born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of
the
great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or
avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue
pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone
who
loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because
occasionally
circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a
trivial
example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some
advantage
from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has
no
annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?”

fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta

est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis
voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis

“On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled
and
demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot
foresee
the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their
duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.
These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of
choice
is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure
is
to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of
duty
or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and
annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of
selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to
avoid
worse pains.”

“But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain
was
born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of
the
great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or
avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue
pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone
who
loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because
occasionally
circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a
trivial
example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some
advantage
from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has
no
annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?”
Section 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum”, written by Cicero in 45 BC
“At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium
voluptatum
deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non
provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et
dolorum
fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta
nobis
est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis
voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis
debitis
aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non
recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus
maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat.”
1914 translation by H. Rackham
“On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled
and
demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot
foresee
the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their
duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.
These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of
choice
is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure
is
to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of
duty
or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and
annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of
selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to
avoid
worse pains.”
