A flatterer is a friend who is your inferior, or pretends to be so.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Wretched, ephemeral race, children of chance and tribulation, why do you force me to tell you the very thing which it would be most profitable for you not to hear? The very best thing is utterly beyond your reach: not to have been born, not to be, to be nothing. However, the second best thing for you is: to die soon.
Aristotle
Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC)
