Of God and His Creatures
That Happiness does not consist in Worldly Power
MAN is called good inasmuch as he attains to the sovereign good. But
inasmuch as he has power he is not called either good or evil: for he
is not good who can do good things, nor is a man evil of being able to
do evil things. Therefore the highest good does not consist in being
powerful.*
3. All power is over another (ad alterum). But the highest good
is not over another.
