Aristotle Quotes
So we must lay it down that the association which is a state exists not for the purpose of living together but for the sake of noble actions.

Similarly they are entitled to a larger share than those who are superior in riches but inferior in virtue.

When I first started acting I was about nine years old. I had never been to audition in my life and my agent sent me out. It was just a commercial for 'Harry Potter.'
