"Youth is easily deceived because it is..." - Quote by Aristotle

“Those who believe that all virtue is to be found in their own party principles push matters to extremes; they do not consider that disproportion destroys a state.”

“The same things are best both for individuals and for states, and these are the things which the legislator ought to implant in the minds of his citizens.”

“Since the branch of philosophy on which we are at present engaged differs from the others in not being a subject of merely intellectual interest — I mean we are not concerned to know what goodness essentially is, but how we are to become good men, for this alone gives the study its practical value — we must apply our minds to the solution of the problems of conduct.”

“Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom.”

“That the enthusiasm which characterizes youth should lift its parricide hands against freedom and science would be such a monstrous phenomenon as I cannot place among possible things in this age and country.”

“And how much better to die in all the happy period of undisillusioned youth, to go out in a blaze of light, than to have your body worn out and old and illusions shattered.”

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.”

“When once a man is launched on such an adventure as this, he must bid farewell to hopes and fears, otherwise death or deliverance will both come too late to save his honor and his reason. Ho, my beauties!”

“Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.”
