The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake. The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward. The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead. The family is the association established by nature for the supply of man's everyday wants. The flute is not an instrument that has a good moral effect; it is too exciting. The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons. Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit. |
