Week Two

Aristotle

Master’s Wisdom 

 

  1.  It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
  1.  Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
  1.  No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.
  1.  Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.
  1.  Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.
  1.  Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

7.  We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

8. Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.

9. The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.

10. Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.

11. I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

12.  Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason, the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.

13. Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

14. Moral excellence comes about because of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.

15. First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends, wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.

16. Man is a goal-seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.

17.  We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace.

18. He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.

19.  No happy man can become miserable, for he will never do acts that are hateful and mean.

20.  All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established
