More quotes by Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle

Aristotle
When you feel yourself lacking something, send your thoughts towards your Intimate and search for the Divinity that lives within you.
Aristotle
The end of labor is to gain leisure.
Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
The secret to humor is surprise.
