It is our actions and the soul's active exercise of its functions that we posit (as being Happiness).

A goal gets us motivated,while a good habit keeps us stay motivated.

Anything that we have to learn to do we learn by the actual doing of it; People become builders by building and instrumentalists by playing instruments. Similarily, we become just by performing just acts, temperate by performing temperate ones, brave by performing brave ones.

Your happiness depends on you alone.

It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.

Time crumbles things; everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.

Of the tyrant, spies and informers are the principal instruments. War is his favorite occupation, for the sake of engrossing the attention of the people, and making himself necessary to them as their leader.
