' . '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.' . '
