More quotes by Aristotle
All flatterers are mercenary, and all low-minded men are flatterers.
Aristotle
He is courageous who endures and fears the right thing, for the right motive, in the right way and at the right times.
Aristotle
You should never think without an image.
Aristotle
Of old, the demagogue was also a general, and then democracies changed into tyrannies. Most of the ancient tyrants were originally demagogues. They are not so now, but they were then and the reason is that they were generals and not orators, for oratory had not yet come into fashion.
Aristotle
Because the rich are generally few in number, while the poor are many, they appear to be antagonistic, and as the one or the other prevails they form the government. Hence arises the common opinion that there are two kinds of government - democracy and oligarchy.
Aristotle
Prayers and sacrifices are of no avail.
Aristotle
Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.
Aristotle
The high-minded man is fond of conferring benefits, but it shames him to receive them.
Aristotle
Meanness is incurable it cannot be cured by old age, or by anything else.
Aristotle
And inasmuch as the great-souled man deserves most, he must be the best of men for the better a man is the more he deserves, and he that is best deserves most. Therefore the truly great-souled man must be a good man. Indeed greatness in each of the virtues would seem to go with greatness of soul.
Aristotle
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
Even if we could suppose the citizen body to be virtuous, without each of them being so, yet the latter would be better, for in the virtue of each the virtue of all is involved.
Aristotle
If the hammer and the shuttle could move themselves, slavery would be unnecessary.
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
The basis of a democratic state is liberty
Aristotle
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
So that the lover of myths, which are a compact of wonders, is by the same token a lover of wisdom.
Aristotle
Justice is Equality...but equality of what?
Aristotle
For contemplation is both the highest form of activity (since the intellect is the highest thing in us, and the objects that it apprehends are the highest things that can be known), and also it is the most continuous, because we are more capable of continuous contemplation than we are of any practical activity.
Aristotle
Nothing is what rocks dream about
Aristotle
