Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness. – Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. – Aristotle
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one. – Aristotle
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self. – Aristotle
