Hope

More quotes by Aristotle

The wise man must not be ordered but must order, and he must not obey another, but the less wise must obey him.

That which is desirable on its own account and for the sake of knowing it is more of the nature of wisdom than that which is desirable on account of its results.

But he who neither thinks for himself, nor lays to heart another's wisdom, this is a useless man.’

The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.

When people are friends, they have no need of justice, but when they are just, they need friendship in addition.
