Aristotle (2015). “On The Heavens”, p.10, Aristotle

Happiness, then, is co-extensive with contemplation, and the more people contemplate, the happier they are; not incidentally, but in virtue of their contemplation, because it is in itself precious. Thus happiness is a form of contemplation.

Aristotle
People, Ethics, Virtue

...virtue is not merely a state in conformity with the right principle, but one that implies the right principle; and the right principle in moral conduct is prudence.

Aristotle
Principles, Ethics, Moral

Aristotle
Ethics, Contemplation, Form
