For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.

Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.
Aristotle
Image
No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
Aristotle
Image
We make war that we may live in peace.
