"Nature of man is not what he..." - Quote by Aristotle
Nature of man is not what he was born as, but what he is born for.
More by Aristotle
“We become just by the practice of just actions.”
“That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it. Every one thinks chiefly of his own, hardly at all of the common interest; and only when he is himself concerned as an individual. For besides other considerations, everybody is more inclined to neglect the duty which he expects another to fulfill.”
“To write well, express yourself like the common people, but think like a wise man.”
More on Purpose
“Don't get to the end of your life and realize you have never lived.”
“Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
“Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.”

“To exist as a nation, to prosper as a state, and to live as a people, we must have trees.”
“Plants are the young of the world, vessels of health and vigor; but they grope ever upward towards consciousness; the trees are imperfect men, and seem to bemoan their imprisonment, rooted in the ground.”
“Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdom which cannot help itself.”
