A story about Aristotle
I’ve taken a few philosophy classes over the course of my lifetime. Having always been interested in western culture, including Thomist philosophy & theology, I have to have an interest in Aristotle.
Aristotle (Ancient Greek: Αριστοτέλης Aristotelēs 384 BC – March 7, 322 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher, student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote many books about physics, poetry, zoology, logic, rhetoric, government, and biology.

Quotes from the man:
“Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.”
“It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.”
“A flatterer is a friend who is your inferior, or pretends to be so. ”
“All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind. “
We used to have so much fun playing ball and throwing the frisbee around, talking about life and poetry.
Good times.
