More quotes by Aristotle
Those who cannot bravely face danger are the slaves of their attackers.
Aristotle
Imagination is a sort of faint perception.
Aristotle
As to adultery, let it be held disgraceful, in general, for any man or woman to be found in any way unfaithful when they are married, and called husband and wife. If during the time of bearing children anything of the sort occur, let the guilty person be punished with a loss of privileges in proportion to the offense.
Aristotle
Nowadays, for the sake of the advantage which is to be gained from the public revenues and from office, men want to be always in office.
Aristotle
There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest man.
Aristotle
Every man should be responsible to others, nor should any one be allowed to do just as he pleases for where absolute freedom is allowed, there is nothing to restrain the evil which is inherent in every man.
Aristotle
He then alone will strictly be called brave who is fearless of a noble death, and of all such chances as come upon us with sudden death in their train.
Aristotle
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the first move-and he, in turn, waits for you.
Aristotle
The soul suffers when the body is diseased or traumatized, while the body suffers when the soul is ailing.
Aristotle
To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Aristotle
When...we, as individuals, obey laws that direct us to behave for the welfare of the community as a whole, we are indirectly helping to promote the pursuit of happiness by our fellow human beings.
Aristotle
The state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.
Aristotle
We must not listen to those who advise us 'being men to think human thoughts, and being mortal to think mortal thoughts' but must put on immortality as much as possible and strain every nerve to live according to that best part of us, which, being small in bulk, yet much more in its power and honour surpasses all else.
Aristotle
A state is an association of similar persons whose aim is the best life possible. What is best is happiness, and to be happy is an active exercise of virtue and a complete employment of it.
Aristotle
[Prudence] is the virtue of that part of the intellect [the calculative] to which it belongs and . . . our choice of actions will not be right without Prudence any more than without Moral Virtue, since, while Moral Virtue enables us to achieve the end, Prudence makes us adopt the right means to the end.
Aristotle
It is our actions and the soul's active exercise of its functions that we posit (as being Happiness).
Aristotle
It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
Metaphor is halfway between the unintelligible and the commonplace.
Aristotle
A courageous person is one who faces fearful things as he ought and as reason directs for the sake of what is noble.
Aristotle
Everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature as good as it can be, and similarly everything that depends on art or any rational cause, and especially if it depends on the best of all causes.
Aristotle
