More quotes by Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.
Aristotle
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle
Democracy is the form of government in which the free are rulers, and oligarchy in which the rich it is only an accident that the free are the many and the rich are the few.
Aristotle
A whole is that which has a beginning, a middle and an end.
Aristotle
Where the laws are not supreme, there demagogues spring up.
Aristotle
The weak are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay no heed to either.
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
All things are full of gods.
Aristotle
When the storytelling goes bad in a society, the result is decadence.
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle
The many are more incorruptible than the few they are like the greater quantity of water which is less easily corrupted than a little.
Aristotle
Of the tyrant, spies and informers are the principal instruments. War is his favorite occupation, for the sake of engrossing the attention of the people, and making himself necessary to them as their leader.
Aristotle
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Aristotle
In all well-attempered governments there is nothing which should be more jealously maintained than the spirit of obedience to law, more especially in small matters for transgression creeps in unperceived and at last ruins the state, just as the constant recurrence of small expenses in time eats up a fortune.
Aristotle
Why is it that all men who are outstanding in philosophy, poetry or the arts are melancholic?
Aristotle
Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.
Aristotle
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
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
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
