Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
Equity is that idea of justice which contravenes the written law.
Aristotle
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle
Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.

The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Aristotle
