"Adventure is worthwhile...." - Quote by Aristotle

“For legislators make the citizens good by forming habits in them, and this is the wish of every legislator, and those who do not effect it miss their mark, and it is in this that a good constitution differs from a bad one.”

“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.”

“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.”

“The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now - that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality.”

“To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself! How many mornings, summer and winter, before yet any neighbor was stirring about his business, have I been about mine...So many autumn, ay, and winter days, spent outside the town, trying to hear what was in the wind, to hear and carry it express! I well-nigh sunk all my capital in it, and lost my own breath into the bargain, running in the face of it.”

“This year I am choosing to live beyond my wildest dreams. I wonder where they'll take me.”

“Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”

“We may seem great in an employment below our worth, but we very often look little in one that is too big for us.”

“A person's worth is measured by the worth of what he values.”
