More quotes by Aristotle
A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
In a polity, each citizen is to possess his own arms, which are not supplied or owned by the state.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.
Aristotle
Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.
Aristotle
All human happiness and misery take the form of action.
Aristotle

Aristotle
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficing, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
Aristotle
The best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and his destiny.
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
