The Quote of the week

“The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.” (Aristotle)

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and scientist born in the Macedonian city of Stagira, Chalkidice, on the northern periphery of Classical Greece. His father,Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, whereafter Proxenus of Atarneus became his guardian.At eighteen, he joined Plato’s Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of thirty-seven. His writings cover many subjects – including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theater, music, rhetoric,linguistics, politics and government – and constitute the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy.

  1. Eli, you did better with this post
    However, you still don’t publish your posts under the correct category
    This is not “social studies”, Eli

  2. Wise words Eli, and it’s interesting to
    read about the man himself.
    Another of his quotations which springs to
    my mind is “He who has overcome his fears
    will truly be free.”
    Keep up the good work Eli.
