"Excellence is not an art. It is..." - Quote by Aristotle

“A king ruleth as he ought, a tyrant as he lists, a king to the profit of all, a tyrant only to please a few.”

“[Meanness] is more ingrained in man's nature than Prodigality; the mass of mankind are avaricious rather than open-handed.”

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.”

“The seventh factor of the basic ingredients of genius, as determined from an extensive analysis of the lives of outstanding men of this nation, is *the habit of going the extra mile.* You will never be a genius unless you make it a habit to do more and better than you are paid to do, every single day of your life.”

“Do what you do so well - and so uniquely - that people can't resist telling others about you”

“It's actually very difficult to make something both simple and good.”

“Habit: The great economizer of energy.”

“Smoke like a chimney, work like a horse, eat without thinking, go for a walk only in really pleasant company.”

“Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.”
