More quotes by Aristotle
Since the things we do determine the character of life, no blessed person can become unhappy. For he will never do those things which are hateful and petty.
Aristotle
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
Everyone honors the wise.
Aristotle
To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Aristotle
The virtue as the art consecrates itself constantly to what's difficult to do, and the harder the task, the shinier the success.
Aristotle
Fate of empires depends on the education of youth

There is nothing unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.
