He who has many friends has not a single friend.Aristotle
[Learn English with Quotes] A man who has many friends has no friends. — Aristotle
Here is a famous quote by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.
How many faces come to mind when you hear the word “friend”? Aristotle left us many words on friendship and human relationships.
This saying means, “Those who think they have many friends do not understand the difference between superficial acquaintances and true friendship.” It’s a profound statement that makes us reflect on the essence and value of friendship.
Aristotle also said, “Misfortune shows those who are not true friends.” It’s a quote worth keeping in mind when we think about friendship.
Here is a famous quote by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, known for the heliocentric theory.
Using a telescope he built himself, he continued his observations and, based on theory, proved the heliocentric model.
However, he was denounced under religious pressure and placed under house arrest.
Even so, Galileo held fast to his convictions to the very end.
He was confident that by analyzing the facts he had accumulated without being swayed by preconceived notions, he had uncovered the essence of the matter.
Perhaps we can learn from Galileo’s stance that what we see with our own eyes can be believed.
By taking action and steadily building upon our efforts, new discoveries may emerge.

Many people are encouraged by this famous quote of his.
Despite countless hardships, he never lost hope, kept moving forward, and won the future he sought.
Sometimes dreams that are too big are mocked or laughed at, but please draw strength from these words and don’t give up.
Those who do not move forward are moving backward.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[Learn English with Quotes] Those who do not move forward are moving backward. — Goethe
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the great German writer whose novel The Sorrows of Young Werther became a bestseller and who is well known for his representative play Faust.
We must move forward… Here is one of his famous quotes that everyone can relate to.
Some may think that not moving forward—stagnation—is different from going backward.
However, the world is changing day by day.
In that context, stagnation is essentially the same as regressing.
Therefore, we must keep moving forward, even if only a little at a time.
It’s enough to have the willingness to learn from your environment.Umeko Tsuda
[Maxim of a Great Person] 89 Umeko Tsuda #shorts #maxim
This is a quote by Umeko Tsuda, founder of Tsuda University.
Some of you may have become interested in her after she was chosen for the design of the 5,000-yen bill in 2024.
Umeko Tsuda devoted her life to improving the status of women, promoting their independence, and advancing higher education for women.
In these words, I sense a strength that urges us to carve out our own path of learning, no matter what environment we find ourselves in.
It reflects her attitude toward “learning.” In everyday life, when things don’t go well, we tend to blame our circumstances.
When you can’t change your environment, isn’t it your own will that you can change? If you ever feel tempted to make excuses, try remembering these words.
A genius is someone who studies three, four, even five times harder than anyone else.Hideyo Noguchi
A genius is someone who studies three, four, five times more than anyone else.
This is a famous quote by Hideyo Noguchi, renowned for his discovery related to yellow fever.
When Noguchi was a year and a half old, he suffered a severe burn on his left hand, causing his fingers to fuse together and preventing them from separating.
He lived with the inconvenience of a left hand that wouldn’t move as he wished.
However, after undergoing surgery in elementary school that restored movement in his fingers, he studied intensely with the desire to contribute to society through medicine, and became a doctor at the young age of 20.
People called geniuses are likely those who put in many times more effort out of the public eye.
They also constantly devise ways to improve at what they are devoted to.
These words remind us that to keep studying and working hard, it’s important to enjoy the small daily efforts and innovations.
