Aristotle
For it is not true, as some treatise-mongers lay down in their systems, of the probity of the speaker, that it contributes nothing to persuasion but moral character nearly, I may say, carries with it the most sovereign efficacy in making credible.
Aristotle
The hand is the tool of tools.
Aristotle
Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.
