Aristotle
By 'life,' we mean a thing that can nourish itself and grow and decay.
Aristotle
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Aristotle
The society that loses its grip on the past is in danger, for it produces men who know nothing but the present, and who are not aware that life had been, and could be, different from what it is.
Aristotle
