It must not be supposed that happiness will demand many or great possessions; for self-sufficiency does not depend on excessive abundance, nor does moral conduct, and it is possible to perform noble deeds even without being ruler of land and sea: one can do virtuous acts with quite moderate resources. This may be clearly observed in experience: private citizens do not seem to be less but more given to doing virtuous actions than princes and potentates. It is sufficient then if moderate resources are forthcoming; for a life of virtuous activity will be essentially a happy life.
AristotleThe angry man wishes the object of his anger to suffer in return; hatred wishes its object not to exist.
AristotleTo know what virtue is is not enough; we must endeavor to possess and to practice it, or in some other manner actually ourselves to become good.
Aristotle
