For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.

More quotes by Aristotle
He overcomes a stout enemy who overcomes his own anger.
Aristotle
In part, art completes what nature cannot elaborate and in part it imitates nature.
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle
Happiness depends on ourselves.
Aristotle
The virtue of a faculty is related to the special function which that faculty performs. Now there are three elements in the soul which control action and the attainment of truth: namely, Sensation, Intellect, and Desire. Of these, Sensation never originates action, as is shown by the fact that animals have sensation but are not capable of action.
Aristotle
To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.
Aristotle
No one praises happiness as one praises justice, but we call it a 'blessing,' deeming it something higher and more divine than things we praise.
Aristotle
Prudence as well as Moral Virtue determines the complete performance of a man's proper function: Virtue ensures the rightness of the end we aim at, Prudence ensures the rightness of the means we adopt to gain that end.
Aristotle
Men pay most attention to what is their own: they care less for what is common or, at any rate, they care for it only to the extent to which each is individually concerned.
Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
The science that studies the supreme good for man is politics.
Aristotle
Anybody can get hit over the head.
Aristotle
Why do men seek honour? Surely in order to confirm the favorable opinion they have formed of themselves.
Aristotle
The soul is characterized by these capacities self-nutrition, sensation, thinking, and movement.
Aristotle
One may go wrong in many different ways, but right only in one, which is why it is easy to fail and difficult to succeed.
Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
Adoration is made out of a solitary soul occupying two bodies.
Aristotle
Bad people...are in conflict with themselves they desire one thing and will another, like the incontinent who choose harmful pleasures instead of what they themselves believe to be good.
Aristotle
What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions.
Aristotle
All flatterers are mercenary, and all low-minded men are flatterers.
Aristotle
