People become house builders through building houses, harp players through playing the harp. We grow to be just by doing things which are just.

Friends are an aid to the young, to guard them from error; to the elderly, to attend to their wants and to supplement their failing power of action; to those in the prime of life, to assist them to noble deeds.

We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.

Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. You become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.

We are what we repeatedly do.

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
