Aristotle
Before you heal the body you must first heal the mind

We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
Aristotle
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle
It is not enough to win a war it is more important to organize the peace.
Aristotle
Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.
Aristotle
It is more difficult to organize a peace than to win a war but the fruits of victory will be lost if the peace is not organized.
Aristotle
The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.
Aristotle

Aristotle
