Aristotle

Aristotle
Authority is no source for Truth.
Aristotle
The souls ability to nourish itself lies in the heart.
Aristotle
There are some jobs in which it is impossible for a man to be virtuous.
Aristotle
Now that practical skills have developed enough to provide adequately for material needs, one of these sciences which are not devoted to utilitarian ends [mathematics] has been able to arise in Egypt, the priestly caste there having the leisure necessary for disinterested research.
Aristotle
Not to know of what things one should demand demonstration, and of what one should not, argues want of education.
Aristotle
