Aristotle

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
But the whole vital process of the earth takes place so gradually and in periods of time which are so immense compared with the length of our life, that these changes are not observed, and before their course can be recorded from beginning to end whole nations perish and are destroyed.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Aristotle
These two rational faculties may be designated the Scientific Faculty and the Calculative Faculty respectively since calculation is the same as deliberation, and deliberation is never exercised about things that are invariable, so that the Calculative Faculty is a separate part of the rational half of the soul.
Aristotle
Being a father is the most rewarding thing a man whose career has plateaued can do.
Aristotle
