Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Aristotle
He who sees things grow from the beginning will have the best view of them.
Aristotle
Men become builders by building and lyreplayers by playing the lyre so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
Aristotle

But it is not at all certain that this superiority of the many over the sound few is possible in the case of every people and every large number. There are some whom it would be impossible: otherwise the theory would apply to wild animals- and yet some men are hardly any better than wild animals.
Aristotle
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
If things do not turn out as we wish, we should wish for them as they turn out.
Aristotle
A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.
Aristotle
One thing alone not even God can do,To make undone whatever hath been done.
Aristotle
For it is not true, as some treatise-mongers lay down in their systems, of the probity of the speaker, that it contributes nothing to persuasion but moral character nearly, I may say, carries with it the most sovereign efficacy in making credible.
Aristotle
Emotions of any kind are produced by melody and rhythm therefore by music a man becomes accustomed to feeling the right emotions music has thus the power to form character, and the various kinds of music based on various modes may be distinguished by their effects on character.
Aristotle
Tyrants preserve themselves by sowing fear and mistrust among the citizens by means of spies, by distracting them with foreign wars, by eliminating men of spirit who might lead a revolution, by humbling the people, and making them incapable of decisive action.
Aristotle
Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.
Aristotle
