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 all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
AristotleDie gesprochenen Worte sind die Zeichen von Vorstellungen in der Seele und die geschriebenen Worte sind die Zeichen von gesprochenen Worten. So wie nun die Schriftzeichen nicht bei allen Menschen dieselben sind, so sind auch die Worte nicht bei allen Menschen dieselben; aber die Vorstellungen in der Rede, deren unmittelbare Zeichen die Worte sind, sind bei allen Menschen dieselben und eben so sind die Gegenstände überall dieselben, von welchen diese Vorstellungen die Abbilder sind.

Wealth is evidently not the good we are seeking; for it is merely useful and for the sake of something else.
AristotleHe who has many friends has no friends.
AristotleThe many are more incorruptible than the few; they are like the greater quantity of water which is less easily corrupted than a little.
AristotleTags: democracy
The best man, then, must legislate, and laws must be passed, but these laws will have no authority when they miss the mark, though in all other cases retaining their authority. But when the law cannot determine a point at all, or not well, should the one best man or should all decide? According to our present practice assemblies meet, sit in judgment, deliberate, and decide, and their judgments an relate to individual cases. Now any member of the assembly, taken separately, is certainly inferior to the wise man. But the state is made up of many individuals. And as a feast to which all the guests contribute is better than a banquet furnished by a single man, so a multitude is a better judge of many things than any individual.

Not in depraved things,
but in those well oriented according to nature,
are we to consider what is natural.
Virtutea şi etica reprezintă o linie de mijloc, şi anume o linie de mijloc între două vicii, unul generat de exces, şi celălalt de insuficienţă, precum şi că ea este astfel deoarece, atît în
domeniul pasiunilor, cît si în cel al actelor, ea tinde direct spre măsura justă. De aceea si este dificil să atingem desăvîrşirea; căci în orice lucru este dificil să atingi punctul de echilibru, la fel cum centrul unui cerc nu poate fi determinat de oricine, ci numai de un cunoscător. Tot astfel, pentru oricine e uşor sa se mînie, să-şi ofere sau să-si cheltuie averea; dar nu este deloc la îndemîna oricui să ştie faţă de cine, cit, cînd, pentru ce şi în ce mod trebuie sa o facă. De aceea, a proceda bine este un lucru tot atît de rar pe cit e de lăudabil si frumos.
All who have meditated upon the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depend upon the education of youth.
