Aristotle

A friend is a second self.

What lies in our power to do, lies in our power not to do.

To give away money is an easy matter, and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man’s power, nor an easy matter. Hence it is that such excellence is rare, praiseworthy, and noble.

Education is the best provision for old age.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.

A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.

There is no mistake in nature.

We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.

This is your life and the clock is ticking.

You are mine, and that means I am on your side even when no one else is.

The problem is that for women, the average time is just over 14 minutes… men are left with about 12 minutes during which time they need to think of something to do!

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people.

There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.

We learn something every day, and lots of times it’s that what we learned the day before was wrong.

There is an interconnectedness among members that bonds the family, much like mountain climbers who rope themselves together when climbing a mountain, so that if someone should slip or need support, he’s held up by the others until he regains his footing.

At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you’re living your life doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you’re comfortable with it.

Power begins with having a crystal-clear view of reality and what each and every person in your life is driven by.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!

And when they played they really played. And when they worked they really worked.
