"A gentleman is not disturbed by anything..." - Quote by Aristotle

“I seek to bring forth what you almost already know.”

“Friendship is a thing most necessary to life, since without friends no one would choose to live, though possessed of all other advantages.”

“We become just by the practice of just actions, self-controlled by exercising self-control, and courageous by performing acts of courage.”

“No man can lead a public career really worth leading, no man can act with rugged independence in serious crises, nor strike at great abuses, nor afford to make powerful and unscrupulous foes, if he is himself vulnerable in his private character.”

“That which is usually called dotage is not the weak point of all old men, but only of such as are distinguished by their levity.”

“A man passes for that he is worth. What he is engraves itself on his face, on his form, on his fortunes, in letters of light. Concealment avails him nothing; boasting nothing. There is confession in the glances of our eyes; in our smiles; in salutations; and the grasp of hands.”

“Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.”

“The little cares that fretted me, I lost them yesterday Among the fields above the sea, Among the winds at play.”

“Love and compassion benefit both ourselves and others. Through kindness to others, your heart and mind will be peaceful and open.”
