Aristotle
People do not naturally become morally excellent or practically wise. They become so, if at all, only as the result of lifelong personal and community effort.
Aristotle
There are, then, three states of mind ... two vices--that of excess, and that of defect and one virtue--the mean and all these are in a certain sense opposed to one another for the extremes are not only opposed to the mean, but also to one another and the mean is opposed to the extremes.
Aristotle
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
