More quotes by Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Aristotle
The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle
All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established.
Aristotle
The best political community is formed by citizens of the middle class.
Aristotle
Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.
Aristotle
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
Law is order, and good law is good order.
Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
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
Without virtue it is difficult to bear gracefully the honors of fortune.
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
What is the essence of life? To serve others and to do good.
Aristotle
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
It is true, indeed, that the account Plato gives in 'Timaeus' is different from what he says in his so-called 'unwritten teachings.'
Aristotle
...for all men do their acts with a view to achieving something which is, in their view, a good.
Aristotle
Happiness depends on ourselves.
Aristotle
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
