"Where it is in our power to..." - Quote by Aristotle

“The ideal man takes joy in doing favors for others.”

“We work to earn our leisure.”

“Wretched, ephemeral race, children of chance and tribulation, why do you force me to tell you the very thing which it would be most profitable for you not to hear? The very best thing is utterly beyond your reach: not to have been born, not to be, to be nothing. However, the second best thing for you is: to die soon.”

“What you do today creates every tomorrow.”

“There is no such thing as compulsion in the scheme of nonviolence.”

“You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.”

“Only if the third necessary thing could be given us. Number one, as I said: quality of information. Number two: leisure to digest it. And number three: the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two.”

“The knowledge we now consider knowledge proves itself in action. What we now mean by knowledge is information effective in action, information focused on results. Results are outside the person, in society and economy, or in the advancement of knowledge itself. To accomplish anything this knowledge has to be highly specialized.”

“The true scholar grudges every opportunity of action passed, by, as a loss of power.”
