"Happiness is the highest good..." - Quote by Aristotle
Happiness is the highest good
More by Aristotle
“A thing chosen always as an end and never as a means we call absolutely final. Now happiness above all else appears to be absolutely final in this sense, since we always choose it for its own sake and never as a means to something else.”
“True happiness flows from the possession of wisdom and virtue and not from the possession of external goods.”
“Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.”

“It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.”
“To work for the common good is the greatest creed.”
