Section 1.10.32 of *De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum*, written by Cicero in 45 BC

“But so that you may understand where all this error originates—those who accuse pleasure and those who praise pain—I will lay bare the whole matter, and I will explain those very things that were spoken by the inventor of truth and, as it were, the architect of the happy life. For no one ever seeks pleasure simply because it is pleasure, nor does anyone hate or flee from it; rather, it is because great pains follow those who do not know how to pursue pleasure with reason. Nor is there anyone who loves pain itself, because it is pain, or seeks to acquire it; but because there are times when such pain occurs, one seeks great pleasure through labor and pain. For if we are to be forgiven for the smallest of things, who among us would willingly undergo the laborious exercise of the body, unless it were to yield some benefit? And who would rightly reproach him who seeks to be in that pleasure rather than suffer any inconvenience, or him who flees from pain because no pleasure can equal it?”
