   True happiness comes from living virtuously, not from having pleasures or riches.

   Nicomachean Ethics · -350

   True happiness results from a virtuous character, not from pleasures or wealth.

   Imagine you are a sculptor carving a statue. Every good choice you make, like patience or courage, is like a chisel stroke that makes the statue more beautiful. Aristotle says happiness is not a prize, but the result of a well-crafted character, through good habits.
