More quotes by Aristotle
The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.
Aristotle
While fiction is often impossible, it should not be implausible.
Aristotle
It is a part of probability that many improbable things will happen.
Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
Aristotle
Some vices miss what is right because they are deficient, others because they are excessive, in feelings or in actions, while virtue finds and chooses the mean.
Aristotle
Nature of man is not what he was born as, but what he is born for.
Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
Aristotle
Poetry demands a man with a special gift for it, or else one with a touch of madness in him.
Aristotle
It is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Anybody can get hit over the head.
Aristotle
Man by nature wants to know.
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
If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much. But indeed there is always a difficulty in men living together and having all human relations in common, but especially in their having common property.
Aristotle
The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.
Aristotle
...for all men do their acts with a view to achieving something which is, in their view, a good.
Aristotle
Because the rich are generally few in number, while the poor are many, they appear to be antagonistic, and as the one or the other prevails they form the government. Hence arises the common opinion that there are two kinds of government - democracy and oligarchy.
Aristotle
So the good has been well explained as that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
Evils draw men together.
Aristotle
When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.
Aristotle
The proof that you know something is that you are able to teach it
Aristotle
