Friendship is essentially a partnership.

Aristotle Philosopher

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Aristotle Philosopher

It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.

Aristotle Philosopher

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

Aristotle Philosopher

You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition; but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes, or staring when you were in a fit of laughter, would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.

Robert Louis Stevenson Novelist

It is a view of God that compensates every thing else, and enables the soul to rest in His bosom. How, when the child in the night screams with terror, hearing sounds that it knows not of, is that child comforted and put to rest? Is it by a philosophical explanation that the sounds were made by the rats in the partition? Is it by imparting entomological knowledge? No; it is by the mother taking the child in her lap, and singing sweetly to it, and rocking it. And the child thinks nothing of the explanation, but only of the mother.
