"I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self."
"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."
"Quality is not an act, it is a habit."
"All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire."

"The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival."
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy."
"The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal."
" No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness."
"The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live."
"The energy of the mind is the essence of life."
"The soul never thinks without a picture."
"Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope."
"If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way."
"The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons."
