Favourite quotes - the series
Reading many lines of various texts on a daily basis, we all occasionally stumble upon a quote or a sentence that resonates strongly within us. Whether it’s a very profound and old, or casually plain, it sometimes looks as if days, or even weeks, run to the sound of it.
Whether we found it by accident, or bumped into it for some unknown reason is not a point here. What matters is that if it has the power to drive us, we should cherish it, remember it and hold on to it as much as we can.
The following quote came to me when I really needed it. To act as a reminder, as a guide…
Excellence is an art won by training and habitation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act but a habit.
- Aristotle
