Aristotle


"All by nature desire knowledge.""

What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies."

"Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them."

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

"Count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self. "

"The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper."
