More quotes by Aristotle
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
Aristotle
Greed has no boundaries
Aristotle
Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three.
Aristotle
Wicked me obey from fear good men,from love.
Aristotle
For pleasure is a state of soul, and to each man that which he is said to be a lover of is pleasant.
Aristotle
Why is it that all men who are outstanding in philosophy, poetry or the arts are melancholic?
Aristotle
No one praises happiness as one praises justice, but we call it a 'blessing,' deeming it something higher and more divine than things we praise.
Aristotle
For what is the best choice for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.
Aristotle
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.
Aristotle
The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness.
Aristotle
The citizens begin by giving up some part of the constitution, and so with greater ease the government change something else which is a little more important, until they have undermined the whole fabric of the state.
Aristotle
Thus then a single harmony orders the composition of the whole...by the mingling of the most contrary principles.
Aristotle
If things do not turn out as we wish, we should wish for them as they turn out.
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
There also appears to be another element in the soul, which, though irrational, yet in a manner participates in rational principle.
Aristotle
Man perfected by society is the best of all animals he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice.
Aristotle
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
Aristotle
Fate of empires depends on the education of youth
Aristotle
One may go wrong in many different ways, but right only in one, which is why it is easy to fail and difficult to succeed.
Aristotle
Fortune favours the bold.
Aristotle
