Some however hold that at
times deliberation is concerned solely with the question
whether a thing is pleasant, as for instance when discussion arises as to whether a theatre should be built or
games instituted. But in my opinion you will never
find any man such a slave to luxury as not to consider
anything but pleasure when he delivers an advisory
speech.
