Aristotle
To be always seeking after the useful does not become free and exalted souls.
Aristotle
Every wicked man is in ignorance as to what he ought to do, and from what to abstain, and it is because of error such as this that men become unjust and, in a word, wicked.
Aristotle
The beginning, as the proverb says, is half the whole.
Aristotle
We do not know a truth without knowing its cause.
Aristotle
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Aristotle
Excellence is not an art. It is the habit of practice.
Aristotle
