More quotes by Aristotle
We should venture on the study of every kind of animal without distaste for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful.
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle

Aristotle
