More quotes by Aristotle
The greatest victory is over self.
Aristotle
The senses are gateways to the intelligence. There is nothing in the intelligence which did not first pass through the senses.
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
The hand is the tool of tools.
Aristotle
The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.
Aristotle
We work to earn our leisure.
Aristotle
For good is simple, evil manifold.
Aristotle
Whether we call it sacrifice, or poetry, or adventure, it is always the same voice that calls.
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
A thing chosen always as an end and never as a means we call absolutely final. Now happiness above all else appears to be absolutely final in this sense, since we always choose it for its own sake and never as a means to something else.
Aristotle
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Aristotle
The greater the length, the more beautiful will the piece be by reason of its size, provided that the whole be perspicuous.
Aristotle
In a word, acts of any kind produce habits or characters of the same kind. Hence we ought to make sure that our acts are of a certain kind for the resulting character varies as they vary. It makes no small difference, therefore, whether a man be trained in his youth up in this way or that, but a great difference, or rather all the difference.
Aristotle
Justice is Equality...but equality of what?
Aristotle
So that the lover of myths, which are a compact of wonders, is by the same token a lover of wisdom.
Aristotle
Beauty is the gift of God
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
Aristotle
