Aristotle
We ought, so far as it lies within our power, to aspire to immortality, and do all that we can to live in conformity with the highest that is within us for even if it is small in quantity, in power and preciousness, it far excels all the rest.
Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
