Single Character

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or character:

    A single monk carries his own bucket of water; two monks carry their bucket of water together; but when there are three monks, there is no water at all.
    Chinese proverb.

    The legislator should direct his attention above all to the education of youth; for the neglect of education does harm to the constitution. The citizen should be molded to suit the form of government under which he lives. For each government has a peculiar character which originally formed and which continues to preserve it. The character of democracy creates democracy, and the character of oligarchy creates oligarchy.
    Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
