"The law does not expressly permit suicide,..." - Quote by Aristotle

“He who takes his fill of every pleasure ... becomes depraved; while he who avoids all pleasures alike ... becomes insensible.”

“In all things which have a plurality of parts, and which are not a total aggregate but a whole of some sort distinct from the parts, there is some cause.”

“Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.”

“There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.”

“An advocate who has been well paid in advance will find the cause he is pleading all the more just.”

“Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief -- resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer.”

“Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combatingnegative emotions, should be a defensive measure. At least we will be able to prevent the advent of negative conduct dominated by negative emotion. That is 'shila', or moral ethics. Once we develop this by familiarizing ourselves with it, along with mindfulness and conscientiousness, eventually that pattern and way of life will become a part of our own life.”

“And all knowledge, when separated from justice and virtue, is seen to be cunning and not wisdom; wherefore make this your first and last and constant and all-absorbing aim, to exceed, if possible, not only us but all your ancestors in virtue; and know that to excel you in virtue only brings us shame, but that to be excelled by you is a source of happiness to us.”

“The content of scientific theory itself offers no moral foundation for the personal conduct of life.”
