“The Good of man is the active exercise of his soul’s faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue....

—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses.”
