“The happy life is thought to be one of excellence; now an excellent life requires exertion, and does not consist in amusement. If Eudaimonia, or happiness, is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence; and this will be that of the best thing in us.”
― Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics

“Give assistance, not advice, in a crisis.”
― Aesop, Aesop’s Fables

“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity”
― Sun-Tzu, A Arte da Guerra

“It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, just like it was impossible to expect humans to lift off the earth by pulling up on their own hair. To achieve moral awakening required a force outside the human race.”
― Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem
