Aristotle
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
Aristotle
Happiness is prosperity combined with virtue.
Aristotle
The man who is content to live alone is either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
The blood of a goat will shatter a diamond.
Aristotle
The most beautiful colors laid on at random, give less pleasure than a black-and-white drawing.
Aristotle
