More quotes by Aristotle
Earthworms are the intenstines of the soil.
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
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
One kind of justice is that which is manifested in distributions of honour or money or the other things that fall to be divided among those who have a share in the constitution ... and another kind is that which plays a rectifying part in transactions.
Aristotle
That body is heavier than another which, in an equal bulk, moves downward quicker.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile?
Aristotle
A friend is another I.
Aristotle
But the whole vital process of the earth takes place so gradually and in periods of time which are so immense compared with the length of our life, that these changes are not observed, and before their course can be recorded from beginning to end whole nations perish and are destroyed.
Aristotle
You should never think without an image.
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 avarice of mankind is insatiable.
Aristotle
The proof that you know something is that you are able to teach it
Aristotle
The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
