We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.

Anything that we have to learn we learn by the actual doing of it... we become just by performing just acts, temperate by performing temperate ones, brave by performing brave ones.

Happiness is a state of activity.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence (aka Areté) then, is not an act, but a habit.

Happiness is prosperity combined with virtue.

"For both excessive and insufficient exercise destroy one's strength, and both eating and drinking too much or too little destroy health, whereas the right quantity produces, increases or preserves it. So it is the same with temperance, courage and the other virtues...

This much then, is clear: in all our conduct it is the mean that is to be commended."

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

What lies in our power to do, lies in our power not to do.

All men seek one goal: success or happiness. The only way to achieve true success is to express yourself completely in service to society. First, have a definite, clear, practical ideal--a goal, an objective. Second have the necessary means to achieve your ends--wisdom, money, material and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.

Even when the laws have been written down, they ought not always remain unchanged.
