More quotes by Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle

Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
Aristotle
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
Equality is of two kinds, numerical and proportional by the first I mean sameness of equality in number or size by the second, equality of ratios.
Aristotle
The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.
Aristotle
We ought, so far as it lies within our power, to aspire to immortality, and do all that we can to live in conformity with the highest that is within us for even if it is small in quantity, in power and preciousness, it far excels all the rest.
Aristotle
Legislative enactments proceed from men carrying their views a long time back while judicial decisions are made off hand.
Aristotle
Being a father is the most rewarding thing a man whose career has plateaued can do.
Aristotle
To Thales the primary question was not what do we know, but how do we know it.
Aristotle
