Aristotle
In everything, it is no easy task to find the middle.
Aristotle
That which is impossible and probable is better than that which is possible and improbable.
Aristotle
To be angry is easy. But to be angry with the right man at the right time and in the right manner, that is not easy.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Evil draws men together.
Aristotle
