Aristotle is famous for his many sayings. His sayings are still quoted today. Here are just a few of them.  

  • "Anyone can become angry. This is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not easy." 

  • "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is a habit."

  • "We must reduce everything to the simplest form possible, but no simpler."

  • "We think in pictures." If you wish to change what you think, change the picture.
