"What you have to learn to do,..." - Quote by Aristotle

“The greater the length, the more beautiful will the piece be by reason of its size, provided that the whole be perspicuous.”

“All are agreed that the various moral qualities are in a sense bestowed by nature: we are just, and capable of temperance, and brave, and possessed of the other virtues from the moment of our birth. But nevertheless we expect to find that true goodness is something different, and that the virtues in the true sense come to belong to us in another way. For even children and wild animals possess the natural dispositions, yet without Intelligence these may manifestly be harmful.”

“When the citizens at large administer the state for the common interest, the government is called by the generic name - a constitution.”

“It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.”

“Whatever you do in life, if you want to be creative and intelligent, and develop your brain, you must do everything with the awareness that everything, in some way, connects to everything else.”

“Trees and fields tell me nothing: men are my teachers.”

“An idea is something that won't work unless you do.”

“The best way to become a writer is to go off and write.”

“The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact.”
