Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
A common danger unites even the bitterest enemies.

Wit is cultured insolence.
Aristotle
There is only one condition in which we can imagine managers not needing subordinates, and masters not needing slaves. This condition would be that each (inanimate) instrument could do its own work.
Aristotle
People become house builders through building houses, harp players through playing the harp. We grow to be just by doing things which are just.
