Top 5 quotes from Aristotle
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit."
"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side."
"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."
"No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness."
Top 5 quotes from Virtue
"I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do. That is character!"
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
"There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle."
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heal that has crushed it."
