The investigation of the truth is in one way hard, in another way easy. An indication of this is found in the fact that no one is able to attain the truth adequately, while, on the other hand, no one fails entirely, but everyone says something true about the nature of things, and while individually they contribute little or nothing to the truth, by the union of all a considerable amount is amassed.
|| Aristotle, Metaphysics
The individual and ambitious process of becoming self-made is in one way hard, and in another way easy. This can be seen in the fact that no can become self-made adequately, while, on the other hand, no one fails entirely, but achieves some progress in individuation and independence, and while individually they contribute little or nothing to their own concept of their self, by the union of all a considerable amount is formed.
