Excellence

[marycatelli]

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

― Aristotle

That's from 'Ethics', isn't it? Very wise.

[marycatelli]

I believe so.

We are what we repeatedly do.

That's interesting to think about.

[marycatelli]

And there is much to ponder.
