"The end of life is pleasure. But by this Epicurus does not mean instant sensual gratification but a long-term absence of pain. This is to be found in tranquillity (ataraxia) or serenity of the soul and hence 'happiness'. He is thinking here particularly of intellectual pleasures which can help us to endure the sufferings of the body. To realize this state a man must follow the path of virtue: he must be just, moderate, temperate, cheerful — the value of such qualities being judged by Epicurus solely in terms of the extent to which they enable the individual to achieve his end. But before acting he must choose intelligently. This requires practical wisdom, the highest virtue."

— Anthony Harrison-Barbet Philosophical Connections: EPICURUS (341–270 BC).
