More quotes by Aristotle
Nor need it cause surprise that things disagreeable to the good man should seem pleasant to some men for mankind is liable to many corruptions and diseases, and the things in question are not really pleasant, but only pleasant to these particular persons, who are in a condition to think them so.
Aristotle
To die, and thus avoid poverty or love, or anything painful, is not the part of a brave man, but rather of a coward for it is cowardice to avoid trouble, and the suicide does not undergo death because it is honorable, but in order to avoid evil.
Aristotle
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.
Aristotle
Moral qualities are so constituted as to be destroyed by excess and by deficiency . . .
Aristotle
Imagination is a sort of faint perception.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
For imagining lies within our power whenever we wish . . . but in forming opinons we are not free . . .
Aristotle
But if nothing but soul, or in soul mind, is qualified to count, it is impossible for there to be time unless there is soul, but only that of which time is an attribute, i.e. if change can exist without soul.
Aristotle
The hardest victory is the victory over self.
Aristotle
. . . the man is free, we say, who exists for his own sake and not for another's.
Aristotle
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle
Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Aristotle
If 'bounded by a surface' is the definition of body there cannot be an infinite body either intelligible or sensible.
Aristotle
Education begins at the level of the learner.
Aristotle
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
Happiness is self-connectedness.
Aristotle
Our problem is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way.
Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both of the other classes.
Aristotle
