Helen Keller
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
Aristotle
“Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices”
Benjamin Franklin

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Blaise Pascal
