More quotes by Aristotle
It is through wonder that men now begin and originally began to philosophize wondering in the first place at obvious perplexities, and then by gradual progression raising questions about the greater matters too.
Aristotle
Aristocracy is that form of government in which education and discipline are qualifications for suffrage and office holding.
Aristotle
Saying the words that come from knowledge is no sign of having it.
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.

Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
Hence both women and children must be educated with an eye to the constitution, if indeed it makes any difference to the virtue of a city-state that its children be virtuous, and its women too. And it must make a difference, since half the free population are women, and from children come those who participate in the constitution.
Aristotle
Men become richer not only by increasing their existing wealth but also by decreasing their expenditure.
Aristotle
Education begins at the level of the learner.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways . . . while to succeed is possible only in one way (for which reason also one is easy and the other difficult - to miss the mark easy, to hit it difficult).
Aristotle
It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.
Aristotle
Self-sufficiency is both a good and an absolute good.
Aristotle
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
Aristotle
It is no part of a physician's business to use either persuasion or compulsion upon the patients.
Aristotle
In everything, it is no easy task to find the middle.
Aristotle
