Words by Aristotle (384-322 BC) — Ancient Greek philosopher.

About this quote

Aristotle suggests that everything human beings do is ultimately directed towards finding fulfilment. Money, honour, and health are merely tools used to achieve a good life, whereas happiness is the final goal in itself. True happiness, in the ancient Greek sense, means living well, flourishing, and fulfilling one's potential over a lifetime.

This passage reflects the core argument of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, written in fourth-century BC Athens. In this treatise, he explores ethics and virtue, identifying human flourishing as the ultimate purpose of moral life.
