More quotes by Aristotle
Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
Aristotle
Character is revealed through action.
Aristotle
Of old, the demagogue was also a general, and then democracies changed into tyrannies. Most of the ancient tyrants were originally demagogues. They are not so now, but they were then and the reason is that they were generals and not orators, for oratory had not yet come into fashion.
Aristotle
Every virtue is a mean between two extremes, each of which is a vice.
Aristotle
A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.
Aristotle
A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense at everything.
Aristotle
The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle
The light of the day is followed by night, as a shadow follows a body.
Aristotle
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
Aristotle
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.
Aristotle
The brave man, if he be compared with the coward, seems foolhardy and, if with the foolhardy man, seems a coward.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.
Aristotle
Excellence or virtue in a man will be the disposition which renders him a good man and also which will cause him to perform his function well.
Aristotle
To the size of the state there is a limit, as there is to plants, animals and implements, for none of these retain their facility when they are too large.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
Earthworms are the intenstines of the soil.
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
