Atticus Aristotle is a known philosopher and teacher of living your life to the fullest. His belief system encompasses the acceptance of letting people be who they want to be and going where they want to go. Based on the merits of who we are inside, Aristotle has written many books on his belief system and views. Here is a look at some of the best Atticus Aristotle quotes from his time.

“Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.”
“Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”
