Aristotle
That which is excellent endures.
Aristotle
The unfortunate need people who will be kind to them the prosperous need people to be kind to.

Aristotle
No state will be well administered unless the middle class holds sway.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
Aristotle
Prudence as well as Moral Virtue determines the complete performance of a man's proper function: Virtue ensures the rightness of the end we aim at, Prudence ensures the rightness of the means we adopt to gain that end.
Aristotle
A state of the soul is either (1) an emotion, (2) a capacity, or (3) a disposition virtue therefore must be one of these three things.
Aristotle
