Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
Aristotle
Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency.
Aristotle
No one praises happiness as one praises justice, but we call it a 'blessing,' deeming it something higher and more divine than things we praise.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Here and elsewhere we shall not obtain the best insight into things until we actually see them growing from the beginning.
Aristotle
Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.
Aristotle
People never know each other until they have eaten a certain amount of salt together.
Aristotle
The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
Aristotle
You can never learn anything that you did not already know
Aristotle
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
