Your happiness depends on you alone.
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle
Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.
Aristotle

Aristotle
The greater the length, the more beautiful will the piece be by reason of its size, provided that the whole be perspicuous.
Aristotle
Because the rich are generally few in number, while the poor are many, they appear to be antagonistic, and as the one or the other prevails they form the government. Hence arises the common opinion that there are two kinds of government - democracy and oligarchy.
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
Aristotle
Happiness is a certain activity of soul in conformity with perfect goodness
Aristotle
Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.
Aristotle
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
