Aristotle

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle
The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.
Aristotle
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
