Let him know how to choose the mean and avoid the extremes on either side, as far as possible. . . . For this is the way of happiness.
PlatoThe three wishes of every man: to be healthy, to be rich by honest means, and to be beautiful.
PlatoFor the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, on whose good or evil actions his own doings are compelled to hinge,--such a one, I say, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation; this is the man of manly character and of wisdom.
Plato
