"Everything is done with a goal, and..." - Quote by Aristotle

“When you ask a dumb question, you get a smart answer.”

“To give a satisfactory decision as to the truth it is necessary to be rather an arbitrator than a party to the dispute.”

“Yet the true friend of the people should see that they be not too poor, for extreme povery lowers the character of the democracy; measures therefore should be taken which will give them lasting prosperity; and as this is equally the interest of all classes, the proceeds of the public revenues should be accumulated and distributed among its poor, if possible, in such quantities as may enable them to purchase a little farm, or, at any rate, make a beginning in trade or husbandry.”

“What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.”

“There is a difference between eating and drinking for strength and from mere gluttony.”

“The really royal calling of the philosopher (as expressed by Alcuin the Anglo-Saxon): To correct what is wrong, and strengthen the right, and raise what is holy.”

“Showing up fully exactly where you are is the fastest way to get where you want to go!”

“If we grow weary and give up, the goal remains for someone else to achieve.”

“I want to be one of the best players around in two or three years time, to be a decisive footballer.”
