Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
Boundaries don't protect rivers, people do.
Aristotle

Aristotle
It is a part of probability that many improbable things will happen.
Aristotle
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect they are equal absolutely.

For even they who compose treatises of medicine or natural philosophy in verse are denominated Poets: yet Homer and Empedocles have nothing in common except their metre the former, therefore, justly merits the name of the Poet while the other should rather be called a Physiologist than a Poet.
Aristotle
Moral qualities are so constituted as to be destroyed by excess and by deficiency . . .
Aristotle
Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.
Aristotle
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
Aristotle
Every wicked man is in ignorance as to what he ought to do, and from what to abstain, and it is because of error such as this that men become unjust and, in a word, wicked.
Aristotle
If something's bound to happen, it will happen.. Right time, right person, and for the best reason.
Aristotle
