More quotes by Aristotle
When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.
Aristotle
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
In practical matters the end is not mere speculative knowledge of what is to be done, but rather the doing of it. It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it, or to take any other steps that may make.
Aristotle
Happiness does not lie in amusement it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself.
Aristotle
Hope is a waking dream.
Aristotle
...in this way the structure of the universe- I mean, of the heavens and the earth and the whole world- was arranged by one harmony through the blending of the most opposite principles.
Aristotle
Concerning the generation of animals akin to them, as hornets and wasps, the facts in all cases are similar to a certain extent, but are devoid of the extraordinary features which characterize bees this we should expect, for they have nothing divine about them as the bees have.
Aristotle
Man perfected by society is the best of all animals he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice.
Aristotle
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.
Aristotle
When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so.
Aristotle
The form of government is a democracy when the free, who are also poor and the majority, govern, and an oligarchy when the rich and the noble govern, they being at the same time few in number.
Aristotle
I was not alone when I was in Goofy hell
Aristotle
If men are given food, but no chastisement nor any work, they become insolent.
Aristotle
Excellence or virtue in a man will be the disposition which renders him a good man and also which will cause him to perform his function well.
Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
Aristotle
Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
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
I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy.
Aristotle
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
Aristotle
We do not know a truth without knowing its cause.
Aristotle
