More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Aristotle
Fate of empires depends on the education of youth
Aristotle
Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.
Aristotle
For what is the best choice for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.
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
Any change of government which has to be introduced should be one which men, starting from their existing constitutions, will be both willing and able to adopt, since there is quite as much trouble in the reformation of an old constitution as in the establishment of a new one, just as to unlearn is as hard as to learn.
Aristotle
There is no such thing as committing adultery with the right woman, at the right time, and in the right way, for it is simply WRONG.
Aristotle
A democracy exists whenever those who are free and are not well-off, being in the majority, are in sovereign control of government, an oligarchy when control lies with the rich and better-born, these being few.
Aristotle
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
We assume therefore that moral virtue is the quality of acting in the best way in relation to pleasures and pains, and that vice is the opposite.
Aristotle
The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument or follow a long chain of reasoning.
Aristotle
Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action
Aristotle
Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.
Aristotle
If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much. But indeed there is always a difficulty in men living together and having all human relations in common, but especially in their having common property.
Aristotle
The structural unity of the parts is such that, if any one of them is displaced or removed, the whole will be disjointed and disturbed. For a thing whose presence or absence makes no visible difference is not an organic part of the whole.
Aristotle
Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
Aristotle
In part, art completes what nature cannot elaborate and in part it imitates nature.
Aristotle
