When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war
AristotleQuite often good things have hurtful consequences. There are instances of men who have been ruined by their money or killed by their courage.
AristotleA young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.
