Aristotle
When the citizens at large administer the state for the common interest, the government is called by the generic name - a constitution.
Aristotle
No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things.
Aristotle
When you feel yourself lacking something, send your thoughts towards your Intimate and search for the Divinity that lives within you.

We may assume the superiority ceteris paribus of the demonstration which derives from fewer postulates or hypotheses - in short, from fewer premises.
Aristotle
