More quotes by Aristotle
Legislative enactments proceed from men carrying their views a long time back while judicial decisions are made off hand.
Aristotle

Aristotle
But it is not at all certain that this superiority of the many over the sound few is possible in the case of every people and every large number. There are some whom it would be impossible: otherwise the theory would apply to wild animals- and yet some men are hardly any better than wild animals.
Aristotle

Aristotle
When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war

Aristotle
Friendship is a thing most necessary to life, since without friends no one would choose to live, though possessed of all other advantages.
Aristotle
One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.
Aristotle
Life is only meaningful when we are striving for a goal .
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
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
Aristotle
It is clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are seeking, we must consider the following point: of what kind of principles and of what kind of causes is wisdom the knowledge?
Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
I say that habit's but a long practice, friend, and this becomes men's nature in the end.
Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
Aristotle
Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.
Aristotle
Prayers and sacrifices are of no avail.
Aristotle
