More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
...virtue is not merely a state in conformity with the right principle, but one that implies the right principle and the right principle in moral conduct is prudence.
Aristotle
All food must be capable of being digested, and that what produces digestion is warmth that is why everything that has soul in it possesses warmth.

In all things which have a plurality of parts, and which are not a total aggregate but a whole of some sort distinct from the parts, there is some cause.
Aristotle
One has no friend who has many friends.
Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
Aristotle
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.
Aristotle
We work to earn our leisure.
Aristotle
A whole is that which has a beginning, a middle and an end.
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
A goal gets us motivated,while a good habit keeps us stay motivated.
Aristotle
The life of theoretical philosophy is the best and happiest a man can lead. Few men are capable of it and then only intermittently. For the rest there is a second-best way of life, that of moral virtue and practical wisdom.
Aristotle
The end of labor is to gain leisure.
Aristotle
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
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
Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine ACTIONS than in the non-performance of base ones.
Aristotle
A man is his own best friend therefore he ought to love himself best.
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
Men come together in cities in order to live: they remain together in order to live the good life
Aristotle
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle
