Aristotle
Worthless persons appointed to have supreme control of weighty affairs do a lot of damage.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
Aristotle
It is no easy task to be good.
Aristotle
But also philosophy is not about perceptible substances they, you see, are prone to destruction.
Aristotle
Hope is a waking dream.
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
Aristotle
