The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness, and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.
Aristotle
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper
Aristotle
He is his own best friend, and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude
Aristotle
Since the things we do determine the character of life, no blessed person can become unhappy. For he will never do those things which are hateful and petty.
Aristotle
