Choice not chance determines your destiny [my family motto...credited to Aristotle]

Whatsoever that be within us that feels, thinks, desires, and animates, is something celestial, divine, and, consequently, imperishable.

Actions determine what kind of characteristics are developed.

Between friends there is no need for justice, but people who are just still need the quality of friendship; and indeed friendliness is considered to be justice in the fullest sense.

Of mankind in general, the parts are greater than the whole.

Happiness is a certain activity of soul in conformity with perfect goodness

The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend.
