In justice is all virtues found in sum.
Aristotle
Of means of persuading by speaking there are three species: some consist in the character of the speaker others in the disposing the hearer a certain way others in the thing itself which is said, by reason of its proving, or appearing to prove the point.
Aristotle
One can aim at honor both as one ought, and more than one ought, and less than one ought. He whose craving for honor is excessive is said to be ambitious, and he who is deficient in this respect unambitious while he who observes the mean has no peculiar name.
Aristotle
The first principle of all action is leisure.
Aristotle
Not to get what you have set your heart on is almost as bad as getting nothing at all.
Aristotle
Education begins at the level of the learner.
Aristotle
