Logic or Ethics Ch. Summum bonum

2 § u. Stoics

III. Of Little indeed would be the use of knowing where this
summum bonum if it meant any thing and were good for
any thing little indeed would be the use of or more knowing where it
is not, unless a man he knew where it is to be found. This
accordingly is what inspired by all these Oracles the Academical instructor, with his philosophies
in his head, is has been generous enough to inform us of.

Virtue — virtue itself — there it is that the summum
bonum — the true and only true summum bonum is to be
found. "Penindium ist igitur summum homicus bonum in ipsa Virtut."+
+ p. 10
What? in the habit of virtue? Oh no, not in any such thing
if against any such error happi every supposition of that
a supposition to that any such effect is the very error against which you
have just been cautioned. Have virtue, and you have the summum
bonum: have virtue, the be you need not trouble
yourself about the habit of it: as to the habit of
virtue, this too you may have if you please, but no
summum bonum will you get by it.
