More quotes by Aristotle
Man by Nature desires to know.
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, isn't just an act, but a habit and life isn't just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition.
Aristotle
Men must be able to engage in business and go to war, but leisure and peace are better they must do what is necessary and indeed what is useful, but what is honorable is better. On such principles children and persons of every age which requires education should be trained.
Aristotle
Irrational passions would seem to be as much a part of human nature as is reason.
Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
Choice not chance determines your destiny [my family motto...credited to Aristotle]
Aristotle
A courageous person is one who faces fearful things as he ought and as reason directs for the sake of what is noble.
Aristotle
Happiness is prosperity combined with virtue.
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
A true disciple shows his appreciation by reaching further than his teacher.
Aristotle
They who are to be judges must also be performers.
Aristotle
It has been well said that 'he who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.' The two are not the same, but the good citizen ought to be capable of both he should know how to govern like a freeman, and how to obey like a freeman - these are the virtues of a citizen.
Aristotle
The soul has two parts, one rational and the other irrational. Let us now similarly divide the rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we contemplate those things which admit of variation.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we can have what we want in the future
Aristotle
The same things are best both for individuals and for states, and these are the things which the legislator ought to implant in the minds of his citizens.
Aristotle
It is not the possessions but the desires of mankind which require to be equalized.
Aristotle
The activity of God, which is transcendent in blessedness, is the activity of contemplation and therefore among human activities that which is most akin to the divine activity of contemplation will be the greatest source of happiness.
Aristotle
The guest will judge better of a feast than the cook
Aristotle
