Aristotle
We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends behave to us
Aristotle
. . . the man is free, we say, who exists for his own sake and not for another's.
Aristotle
The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.
Aristotle
