“We live in deeds, not years;
In thoughts, not breaths;
in feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart throbs.
He most lives who thinks most,
feels the noblest, acts the best.” – Aristotle

I have seen this quoted to Philip James Bailey instead. Can you tell me where it originated in Aristotle’s writings?
I thought it’s Philip James Bailey who write this Poem?
