Greek - Philosopher
384 BC - 322 BC

The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does. No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies.

Daisy Bates

Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one's self. We must be purposely kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart that goes out of itself, gets large and full of joy. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.

Horace Mann

I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.

Mary Harris Jones

There is no joy other than the joy of creating. There is no man who is truly alive other than one who is creating. All others are just shadows on the earth with nothing to do with being alive. The joy of living, whether it is love or action, is the joy of creating.

Romain Rolland

The ideal man is his own best friend and takes delight in privacy.

Aristotle

If we are to extract any joy out of our span, we must think and plan and make things better not only for ourselves but for others, since joy for ourselves depends upon our joy in others and theirs in us.

Theodore Dreiser

When a man is a favorite of Fortune she never takes him unawares, and, however astonishing her favors may be, she finds him ready.

Napoleon Bonaparte

He who is infatuated with Man leaves persons out of account so far as that infatuation extends, and floats in an ideal, sacred interest. Man, you see, is not a person, but an ideal, a spook.

Max Stirner

He who is infatuated with 'Man' leaves persons out of account so far as that infatuation extends, and floats in an ideal, sacred interest. Man, you see, is not a person, but an ideal, a spook.

Max Stirner

Middle class Americans don't ask for special favors, they just want basic fairness, and a President who fights for that ideal.

John F. Kerry

Outperforming the majority of investors requires doing what they are not doing. Buying when others have despaired, and selling when they are full of hope, takes fortitude.

John Templeton

Never forget the favors done for you. Always forget the favors you’ve done for others.

Omar Suleiman

Joy is the great note all through the Bible. We have the notion of joy that arises from good spirits or good health, but the miracle of joy of God has nothing to do with a man's life or his circumstances or the condition he is in. Jesus Christ does not come to a man and say, 'Cheer up.' He plants within a man the miracle of the joy of God's own nature.

Oswald Chambers

The ideal society can be described, quite simply, as that in which no man has the power of means to coerce others.

Edward Abbey

There is no such thing as an ideal man. The ideal man is the man you love at the moment.

Francoise Sagan

There is a purpose in life--to raise men nearer to the likeness of God. Whoever seeks that ideal, daily, finds joy; and in no other way can true joy be found.

John Andreas Widtsoe
