“Then, dost thou remember that, by our former reasonings, it was concluded that the whole aim of man’s will, though the means of pursuit vary, is set intently upon happiness?”

“I do remember that this, too, was proved.”

“Dost thou also call to mind how happiness is absolute good, and therefore that, when happiness is sought, it is good which is in all cases the object of desire?”

“Nay, I do not so much call to mind as keep it fixed in my memory.”

“Then, all men, good and bad alike, with one indistinguishable purpose strive to reach good?”

“Yes, that follows.”

“But it is certain that by the attainment of good men become good?”

“It is.”
