Aristotle

Aristotle
Happiness is the highest good
Aristotle
When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so.
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
To give a satisfactory decision as to the truth it is necessary to be rather an arbitrator than a party to the dispute.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.
Aristotle
We have no evidence as yet about mind or the power to think it seems to be a widely different kind of soul, differing as what is eternal from what is perishable it alone is capable of existence in isolation from all other psychic powers.
Aristotle
Happiness does not lie in amusement it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself.
Aristotle
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
Aristotle
Evils draw men together.
Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
The aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought....The little human animal will not at first have the right responses. It must be trained to feel pleasure, liking, disgust, and hatred at those things which really are pleasant, likable, disgusting, and hateful.
Aristotle
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
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
Governments which have a regard to the common interest are constituted in accordance with strict principles of justice, and are therefore true forms but those which regard only the interest of the rulers are all defective and perverted forms, for they are despotic, whereas a state is a community of freemen.
Aristotle
The form of government is a democracy when the free, who are also poor and the majority, govern, and an oligarchy when the rich and the noble govern, they being at the same time few in number.
Aristotle
Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.
Aristotle
We are what we continually do.
Aristotle
Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
Aristotle
