More quotes by Aristotle
It is not easy for a person to do any great harm when his tenure of office is short, whereas long possession begets tyranny.
Aristotle
And yet the true creator is necessity, which is the mother of invention.
Aristotle
Happiness is something final and complete in itself, as being the aim and end of all practical activities whatever .... Happiness then we define as the active exercise of the mind in conformity with perfect goodness or virtue.
Aristotle
Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it men come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp. In the same way, by doing just acts we come to be just by doing self-controlled acts, we come to be self-controlled and by doing brave acts, we become brave.
Aristotle

Aristotle
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle

We are what we repeatedly do.
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
The weak are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay no heed to either.
Aristotle
There is only one condition in which we can imagine managers not needing subordinates, and masters not needing slaves. This condition would be that each (inanimate) instrument could do its own work.
Aristotle
A speaker who is attempting to move people to thought or action must concern himself with Pathos.
Aristotle
Laws, when good, should be supreme and that the magistrate or magistrates should regulate those matters only on which the laws are unable to speak with precision owing to the difficulty of any general principle embracing all particulars.
Aristotle
First, have a definite, clear practical ideal a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.
Aristotle
Fortune favours the bold.
Aristotle
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Aristotle
The majority of mankind would seem to be beguiled into error by pleasure, which, not being really a good, yet seems to be so. So that they indiscriminately choose as good whatsoever gives them pleasure, while they avoid all pain alike as evil.
Aristotle
It is better for a city to be governed by a good man than by good laws.
Aristotle
Human beings are curious by nature.
Aristotle
