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
We have next to consider the formal definition of virtue.
Aristotle
Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.
Aristotle
Youth should stay away from all evil, especially things that produce wickedness and ill-will.
Aristotle
... a science must deal with a subject and its properties.
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.

To leave the number of births unrestricted, as is done in most states, inevitably causes poverty among the citizens, and poverty produces crime and faction.
Aristotle
Men cling to life even at the cost of enduring great misfortune.
Aristotle
Excellence or virtue is a settled disposition of the mind that determines our choice of actions and emotions and consists essentially in observing the mean relative to us ... a mean between two vices, that which depends on excess and that which depends on defect.
Aristotle
Irrational passions would seem to be as much a part of human nature as is reason.
Aristotle
Life is only meaningful when we are striving for a goal .
Aristotle
Nature herself, as has been often said, requires that we should be able, not only to work well, but to use leisure well for, as I must repeat once again, the first principle of all action is leisure. Both are required, but leisure is better than occupation and is its end.
Aristotle
Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character ofthe speaker the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind the third on the proof, provided by the words of the speech itself.
Aristotle
It is true, indeed, that the account Plato gives in 'Timaeus' is different from what he says in his so-called 'unwritten teachings.'
Aristotle
