More quotes by Aristotle
As to adultery, let it be held disgraceful, in general, for any man or woman to be found in any way unfaithful when they are married, and called husband and wife. If during the time of bearing children anything of the sort occur, let the guilty person be punished with a loss of privileges in proportion to the offense.
Aristotle
He who cannot see the truth for himself, nor, hearing it from others, store it away in his mind, that man is utterly worthless.
Aristotle
The man who confers a favour would rather not be repaid in the same coin.
Aristotle
It is not sufficient to know what one ought to say, but one must also know how to say it.
Aristotle
Find the good. Seek the Unity. Ignore the divisions among us.
Aristotle

Aristotle
It is better for a city to be governed by a good man than by good laws.
Aristotle
For what one has to learn to do, we learn by doing.
Aristotle
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three.
Aristotle
The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
Aristotle
Greed has no boundaries
Aristotle
If you string together a set of speeches expressive of character, and well finished in point and diction and thought, you will not produce the essential tragic effect nearly so well as with a play which, however deficient in these respects, yet has a plot and artistically constructed incidents.
Aristotle
