"For imitation is natural to man from..." - Quote by Aristotle

“But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state; and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.”

“If then nature makes nothing without some end in view, nothing to no purpose, it must be that nature has made all of them for the sake of man.”

“Hence intellect[ual perception] is both a beginning and an end, for the demonstrations arise from these, and concern them. As a result, one ought to pay attention to the undemonstrated assertions and opinions of experienced and older people, or of the prudent, no less than to demonstrations, for, because the have an experienced eye, they see correctly.”

“It does not make much difference what a person studies-all knowledge is related, and the man who studies anything, if he keeps at it, will be learned.”

“Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.”

“Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move forward in a better direction.”

“How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.”

“You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome.”

“Man is the plumeless genus of bipeds, birds are the plumed.”
