"Have a definite, clear, practical ideal -..." - Quote by Aristotle

“The two qualities which chiefly inspire regard and affection are that a thing is your own and that it is your only one.”

“Revolutions are effected in two ways, by force and by fraud.”

“Teachers, who educate children, deserve more honour than parents, who merely gave them birth; for the latter provided mere life, while the former ensure a good life.”

“We will be relentless in our pursuit for perfection. We won't ever be perfect - but in the process we will achieve greatness.”

“If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already.”

“Make a list of twenty-five things you want to experience before you die. Carry it in your wallet or purse and refer to it often.”

“A work of (whatever) art can be either 'received' or 'used'. ...'Using' is inferior to 'reception' because art, if used rather than received, merely facilitates, brightens, relieves or palliates our life, and does not add to it ...

“Without a vision the people perish.”
