To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.

More quotes by Aristotle
The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement - in fact, of nervous functions in general, - are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance.
Aristotle
The true end of tragedy is to purify the passions.
Aristotle
Adoration is made out of a solitary soul occupying two bodies.
Aristotle
My lectures are published and not published they will be intelligible to those who heard them, and to none beside.
Aristotle
All human happiness and misery take the form of action.
Aristotle
It makes no difference whether a good man has defrauded a bad man, or a bad man defrauded a good man, or whether a good or bad man has committed adultery: the law can look only to the amount of damage done.
Aristotle
Wicked men obey for fear, but the good for love.
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
Aristotle
Poetry demands a man with a special gift for it, or else one with a touch of madness in him.
Aristotle
If everything when it occupies an equal space is at rest, and if that which is in locomotion is always occupying such a space at any moment, the flying arrow is therefore motionless.
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
1 is not prime, by definition. 2 is an unnatural prime, 4 is an unnatural prime, and 6 is an unnatural prime. All other natural primes cannot be unnatural primes.
Aristotle
Friends hold a mirror up to each other through that mirror they can see each other in ways that would not otherwise be accessible to them, and it is this mirroring that helps them improve themselves as persons.
Aristotle
Now the soul of man is divided into two parts, one of which has a rational principle in itself, and the other, not having a rational principle in itself, is able to obey such a principle. And we call a man in any way good because he has the virtues of these two parts.
Aristotle
Happiness depends on ourselves.
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
It is easier to get one or a few of good sense, and of ability to legislate and adjudge, than to get many.
Aristotle
Shipping magnate of the 20th century If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
Aristotle
We are not angry with people we fear or respect, as long as we fear or respect them you cannot be afraid of a person and also at the same time angry with him.
Aristotle
Happiness is a thing honored and perfect. This seems to be borne out by the fact that it is a first principle or starting-point, since all other things that all men do are done for its sake and that which is the first principle and cause of things good we agree to be something honorable and divine.
Aristotle
