"The greatest victory is over self...." - Quote by Aristotle

“...happiness is an activity and a complete utilization of virtue, not conditionally but absolutely.”

“In practical matters the end is not mere speculative knowledge of what is to be done, but rather the doing of it. It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it, or to take any other steps that may make.”

“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are of the nature rather of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”

“The secret of remaining young is never to have an emotion that is unbecoming.”

“The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.”

“You will eat not to satisfy your palate but your hunger. A self-indulgent man lives to eat; a self-restrained man eats to live.”

“Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.”

“Have taken Trier with two divisions. What do you want me to do? Give it back?”

“There are some timid souls that will never know victory nor defeat.”
