He is happy who lives in accordance with complete virtue and is sufficiently equipped with external goods, not for some chance period but throughout a complete life. Aristotle
...happiness does not consist in amusement. In fact, it would be strange if our end were amusement, and if we were to labor and suffer hardships all our life long merely to amuse ourselves.... The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.... Aristotle
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness. Aristotle
Happiness does not lie in amusement; it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself Aristotle

Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god. Aristotle
Aristotle quote: "Those who educate children well are more to be honored than..."
Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well. Aristotle
Aristotle quote: "The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and..."

Aristotle quote: "It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither..."
It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken. Aristotle
Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well. Aristotle
