Aristotle
Before you heal the body you must first heal the mind
Aristotle
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
Aristotle
The wise man knows of all things, as far as possible, although he has no knowledge of each of them in detail

Aristotle
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle

Aristotle
...in this way the structure of the universe- I mean, of the heavens and the earth and the whole world- was arranged by one harmony through the blending of the most opposite principles.
Aristotle
Earthworms are the intenstines of the soil.
Aristotle
Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.
Aristotle
Love well, be loved and do something of value.
Aristotle
Anything whose presence or absence makes no discernible difference is no essential part of the whole.
Aristotle
Bad people...are in conflict with themselves they desire one thing and will another, like the incontinent who choose harmful pleasures instead of what they themselves believe to be good.
Aristotle
And this lies in the nature of things: What people are potentially is revealed in actuality by what they produce.
Aristotle
Man by Nature desires to know.
Aristotle
