"Phronimos, possessing practical wisdom . But the..." - Quote by Aristotle

“Man, as an originator of action, is a union of desire and intellect.”

“Some animals are cunning and evil-disposed, as the fox; others, as the dog, are fierce, friendly, and fawning. Some are gentle and easily tamed, as the elephant; some are susceptible of shame, and watchful, as the goose. Some are jealous and fond of ornament, as the peacock.”

“We should venture on the study of every kind of animal without distaste; for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful.”

“It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out.”

“I don't know a greater advantage, than to appreciate the worth of an enemy.”

“Do not judge others. Be your own judge and you will be truly happy. If you will try to judge others, you are likely to burn your fingers.”

“A leader who loves status quo soon becomes a follower.”

“There is no success without a successor.”

“When I think about what I'm going through, as President, it doesn't compare to what the folks that I'm representing are going through. They're losing jobs. They're trying to figure out how to pay their medical bills. They've seen retirements suddenly dissipate because of what's happening in the stock market. And so as tough as the job might be, and the politics of Washington can sometimes be I'm always reminded of how fortunate I am to be here, and what an extraordinary responsibility I have to try to deliver on some of the promises that I made during the election.”
