More quotes by Aristotle
Yes the truth is that men's ambition and their desire to make money are among the most frequent causes of deliberate acts of injustice.
Aristotle
It is clear that those constitutions which aim at the common good are right, as being in accord with absolute justice while those which aim only at the good of the rulers are wrong.
Aristotle
Madness is badness of spirit, when one seeks profit from all sources.
Aristotle
A courageous person is one who faces fearful things as he ought and as reason directs for the sake of what is noble.
Aristotle
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
Purpose ... is held to be most closely connected with virtue, and to be a better token of our character than are even our acts.
Aristotle
Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile?
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
For the real difference between humans and other animals is that humans alone have perception of good and evil, just and unjust, etc. It is the sharing of a common view in these matters that makes a household and a state.
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
He is courageous who endures and fears the right thing, for the right motive, in the right way and at the right times.
Aristotle
Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it men come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp. In the same way, by doing just acts we come to be just by doing self-controlled acts, we come to be self-controlled and by doing brave acts, we become brave.
Aristotle
The good man is he for whom, because he is virtuous, the things that are absolutely good are good it is also plain that his use of these goods must be virtuous and in the absolute sense good.
Aristotle
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.
Aristotle
. . . the man is free, we say, who exists for his own sake and not for another's.
Aristotle
Even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion. We may conclude then that the law is reason without passion, and it is therefore preferable to any individual.
Aristotle
Justice therefore demands that no one should do more ruling than being ruled, but that all should have their turn.
Aristotle
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
Aristotle
It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
