More quotes by Aristotle
If 'bounded by a surface' is the definition of body there cannot be an infinite body either intelligible or sensible.
Aristotle
All art is concerned with coming into being for it is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature.
Aristotle
Victory is plesant, not only to those who love to conquer, bot to all for there is produced an idea of superiority, which all with more or less eagerness desire.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
In the human species at all events there is a great diversity of pleasures. The same things delight some men and annoy others, and things painful and disgusting to some are pleasant and attractive to others.
Aristotle
All things are full of gods.
Aristotle
The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward.
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
In all things which have a plurality of parts, and which are not a total aggregate but a whole of some sort distinct from the parts, there is some cause.
Aristotle
He who is by nature not his own but another's man is by nature a slave.
Aristotle
A body in motion can maintain this motion only if it remains in contact with a mover.
Aristotle
It would then be most admirably adapted to the purposes of justice, if laws properly enacted were, as far as circumstances admitted, of themselves to mark out all cases, and to abandon as few as possible to the discretion of the judge.
Aristotle
Peace is more difficult than war.
Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle
Tyrants preserve themselves by sowing fear and mistrust among the citizens by means of spies, by distracting them with foreign wars, by eliminating men of spirit who might lead a revolution, by humbling the people, and making them incapable of decisive action.
Aristotle
He then alone will strictly be called brave who is fearless of a noble death, and of all such chances as come upon us with sudden death in their train.
Aristotle
Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.
Aristotle
No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
Aristotle
All men by nature desire knowledge.
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
