This is a quote I think about often.
There is another as well that I think about along with it... "people have two lives, the second life begins when they realize they only have one life to live".

Nope, Aristotle Did Not Say, “It Is the Mark of an Educated Mind to Entertain a Thought Without….”
According to wikiquote, this was first attributed to Aristotle by Lowell L. Bennion in his Religion and the Pursuit of Truth 1989, 52).
They suggest that it is a misunderstanding of Nicomachean Ethics 1094b24. The density of the passage provides some grounds for why it may have been (over)simplified. But since it stands so early at the beginning of the Ethics.
What Aristotle did write was...
“It is right that we ask [people] to accept each of the things which are said in the same way: for it is the mark of an educated person to search for the same kind of clarity in each topic to the extent that the nature of the matter accepts it. For it is similar to expect a mathematician to speak persuasively or for an orator to furnish clear proofs!
Each person judges well what they know and is thus a good critic of those things. For each thing in specific, someone must be educated [to be a critic]; to [be a critic in general] one must be educated about everything".

Somebody first wrote it, whether by misquoting in accident or wanting to give his quote some appearance of authority by saying Aristotle...if no one wants credit for the quote, can I claim it as my own? blah blah blah by donkeypimpslappr...lol

It should be required by law to recite this quote when you wake up in the morning.
