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.

More quotes by Aristotle
It is impossible, or not easy, to alter by argument what has long been absorbed by habit
Aristotle
The attainment of truth is then the function of both the intellectual parts of the soul. Therefore their respective virtues are those dispositions which will best qualify them to attain truth.
Aristotle
If you string together a set of speeches expressive of character, and well finished in point and diction and thought, you will not produce the essential tragic effect nearly so well as with a play which, however deficient in these respects, yet has a plot and artistically constructed incidents.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways . . . while to succeed is possible only in one way (for which reason also one is easy and the other difficult - to miss the mark easy, to hit it difficult).
Aristotle
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.
Aristotle
Our problem is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit.
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
In general, what is written must be easy to read and easy to speak which is the same.
Aristotle
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
It is clear that those constitutions which aim at the common good are right, as being in accord with absolute justice while those which aim only at the good of the rulers are wrong.
Aristotle
The light of the day is followed by night, as a shadow follows a body.
Aristotle
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
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
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.
Aristotle
Quite often good things have hurtful consequences. There are instances of men who have been ruined by their money or killed by their courage.
Aristotle
The guest will judge better of a feast than the cook
Aristotle
The greatest crimes are caused by surfeit, not by want.
Aristotle
The beginning, as the proverb says, is half the whole.
Aristotle
A friend to all is a friend to none.
Aristotle
And this lies in the nature of things: What people are potentially is revealed in actuality by what they produce.
Aristotle
