Quote from Aristotle,


"We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."


By:

Aristotle (more quotes by Aristotle or books by/about Aristotle)


(384-322 BC) Greek philosopher

Source:

Misattributed to Aristotle. Actually a quote from Will Durant in The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the World's Greatest Philosophers (1926), Ch. II: Aristotle and Greek Science; part VII: Ethics and the Nature of Happiness. The misattribution is from taking Durant's summation of Aristotle's ideas as being the words of Aristotle himself.
