More quotes by 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
Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.
Aristotle
A courageous person is one who faces fearful things as he ought and as reason directs for the sake of what is noble.
Aristotle
The most beautiful colors laid on at random, give less pleasure than a black-and-white drawing.
Aristotle
The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement - in fact, of nervous functions in general, - are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance.
Aristotle
And this lies in the nature of things: What people are potentially is revealed in actuality by what they produce.
Aristotle
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
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
I seek to bring forth what you almost already know.
Aristotle
We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
Aristotle
That body is heavier than another which, in an equal bulk, moves downward quicker.
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
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
The ridiculous is produced by any defect that is unattended by pain, or fatal consequences thus, an ugly and deformed countenance does not fail to cause laughter, if it is not occasioned by pain.
Aristotle
Therefore, even the lover of myth is a philosopher for myth is composed of wonder.
Aristotle
The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
Aristotle
Beauty is a gift of God.
Aristotle
By 'life,' we mean a thing that can nourish itself and grow and decay.
Aristotle
In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead.
Aristotle
The soul is characterized by these capacities self-nutrition, sensation, thinking, and movement.
Aristotle
