From ancient Greek came the wisdom of Aristotle..
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge.
The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Those who excel in virtue have the best right of all to rebel, but then they are of all men the least inclined to do so.
The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
