More quotes by Aristotle
A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.
Aristotle
Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure.
Aristotle
The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.
Aristotle
For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle
When Pleasure is at the bar the jury is not impartial.
Aristotle
Any change of government which has to be introduced should be one which men, starting from their existing constitutions, will be both willing and able to adopt, since there is quite as much trouble in the reformation of an old constitution as in the establishment of a new one, just as to unlearn is as hard as to learn.
Aristotle
Moral qualities are so constituted as to be destroyed by excess and by deficiency . . .
Aristotle
A friend is a second self, so that our consciousness of a friend's existence...makes us more fully conscious of our own existence.
Aristotle
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle
Your happiness depends on you alone.
Aristotle
The soul suffers when the body is diseased or traumatized, while the body suffers when the soul is ailing.
Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.
Aristotle
Every man should be responsible to others, nor should any one be allowed to do just as he pleases for where absolute freedom is allowed, there is nothing to restrain the evil which is inherent in every man.
Aristotle
Again, the male is by nature superior, and the female inferior and the one rules, and the other is ruled this principle, of necessity, extends to all mankind.
Aristotle
The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.
Aristotle
Saying the words that come from knowledge is no sign of having it.
Aristotle
If the hammer and the shuttle could move themselves, slavery would be unnecessary.
Aristotle
Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
