"[Prudence] is the virtue of that part..." - Quote by Aristotle

“While most of those who hold that the whole heaven is finite say that the earth lies at the center, the philosophers of Italy, the so-called Pythagoreans, assert the contrary. They say that in the middle there is fire, and that the earth is one of the stars, and by its circular motion round the center produces night and day.”

“But a man's best friend is the one who not only wishes him well but wishes it for his own sake (even though nobody will ever know it): and this condition is best fulfilled by his attitude towards himself - and similarly with all the other attributes that go to define a friend. For we have said before that all friendly feelings for others are extensions of a man's feelings for himself.”

“It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.”

“Nothing more unqualified the man to act with prudence than a misfortune that is attended with shame and guilt.”

“Do not let fancy outrun your means.”

“A wise man does nothing by constraint.”

“Creating without claiming, Doing without taking credit, Guiding without interfering, This is Primal Virtue.”

“Courage is virtue which champions the cause of right.”

“Whoever feels pain in hearing a good character of his neighbor, will feel a pleasure in the reverse. And those who despair to rise in distinction by their virtues, are happy if others can be depressed to a level of themselves.”
