More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
Evils draw men together.
Aristotle
Hippodamus, son of Euryphon, a native of Miletus, invented the art of planning and laid out the street plan of Piraeus.
Aristotle
It was through the feeling of wonder that men now and at first began to philosophize.
Aristotle
Each human being is bred with a unique set of potentials that yearn to be fulfilled as surely as the acorn yearns to become the oak within it.
Aristotle

Aristotle
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.

Now that practical skills have developed enough to provide adequately for material needs, one of these sciences which are not devoted to utilitarian ends [mathematics] has been able to arise in Egypt, the priestly caste there having the leisure necessary for disinterested research.
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.
Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
Goodness is to do good to the deserving and love the good and hate the wicked, and not to be eager to inflict punishment or take vengeance, but to be gracious and kindly and forgiving.
Aristotle
To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.
Aristotle
Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
Aristotle
The secret to humor is surprise.
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
For it is not true, as some treatise-mongers lay down in their systems, of the probity of the speaker, that it contributes nothing to persuasion but moral character nearly, I may say, carries with it the most sovereign efficacy in making credible.
Aristotle
In educating the young we steer them by the rudders of pleasure and pain
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
