I wonder why he likes to quote Aristotle? :/
As a child, his mother constantly impressed the ideas and philosophies of Aristotle upon him. One of the things I really loved about the character. He had a very precise and laid out way.

I’m noticing more and more recently that people have this bad habit of just accepting things they don’t like without actually putting any effort forth to effect change to those things. If you’re not happy with your weight then stop shoveling disgusting food down your throat and try being more active. If you’re not happy with the way people treat you, then try approaching people differently. If you’re not happy with your boyfriend/girlfriend, then break up with them. Don’t just sit around bitching about a situation saying “OH WELL, GEE, I WISH THINGS WOULD GET BETTER FOR ME. SIIIIIGH,” that’s not how life works.
Aristotle says “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not a single act, but a habit.”

Men think that acting unjustly is in their power, and therefore that being just is easy. But it is not; to lie with one’s neighbor’s wife, to wound another, to deliver a bribe, is easy and in our power, but to do these things as a certain state of character is neither easy nor in our power.— Aristotle (via trevoredwards)

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.— Aristotle (via girlwithoutwings)
