Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Greed has no boundaries
Aristotle
Should a man live underground, and there converse with the works of art and mechanism, and should afterwards be brought up into the open day, and see the several glories of the heaven and earth, he would immediately pronounce them the work of such a Being as we define God to be.
Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle

Aristotle
