"In the perfect state the good man..." - Quote by Aristotle

“A city is composed of different kinds of men; similar people cannot bring a city into existence.”

“We work to earn our leisure.”

“Personal beauty requires that one should be tall; little people may have charm and elegance, but beauty-no.”

“Every man should be responsible to others, nor should anyone be allowed to do just as he pleases; for where absolute freedom is allowed there is nothing to restrain the evil which is inherent in every man. But the principle of responsibility secures that which is the greatest good in states; the right persons rule and are prevented from doing wrong, and the people have their due. It is evident that this is the best kind of democracy, and why? because the people are drawn from a certain class.”

“History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.”

“States strong enough to do good are but few.Their number would seem limited to three.”

“Honesty: The best of all the lost arts.”

“It is not enough merely possess virtue, as if it were an art; it should be practiced.”

“Bourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.”
