It must not be supposed that happiness will demand many or great possessions; for self-sufficiency does not depend on excessive abundance, nor does moral conduct, and it is possible to perform noble deeds even without being ruler of land and sea: one can do virtuous acts with quite moderate resources.

It is sufficient then if moderate resources are forthcoming; for a life of virtuous activity will be essentially a happy life.
