• “No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.” • “We are what we repeatedly do.” • “The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.” • “One must learn by doing the thing, for though you think you know it, if you have no certainty until you try.” • “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” • “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” • “Education is the best provision for the journey to old age.” • A flatterer is a friend who is your inferior, or pretends to be so.” • “All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.” • “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” • “All virtue is summed up in dealing justly.” • “Law is mind without reason.” • “It is in justice that the ordering of society is centered.” • “Man perfected by society is the best of all animals; he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice.” • “Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way... you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.” • “The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.” • “Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.” • “Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them.” • “Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.” • “One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.” • “The gods too are fond of a joke.” • “The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature.

The very best thing is utterly beyond your reach: not to have been born, not to be, to be nothing. However, the second best thing for you is: to die soon.” • “All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.” • “The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.” • “You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.” • “A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.” • “One swallow does not make a summer.” |
