More quotes by Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
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
Not to know of what things one should demand demonstration, and of what one should not, argues want of education.
Aristotle
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
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
A state of the soul is either (1) an emotion, (2) a capacity, or (3) a disposition virtue therefore must be one of these three things.
Aristotle
A period may be defined as a portion of speech that has in itself a beginning and an end, being at the same time not too big to be taken in at a glance
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
Even if we could suppose the citizen body to be virtuous, without each of them being so, yet the latter would be better, for in the virtue of each the virtue of all is involved.
Aristotle
Anything whose presence or absence makes no discernible difference is no essential part of the whole.
Aristotle
To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.
Aristotle
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
Aristotle
He is courageous who endures and fears the right thing, for the right motive, in the right way and at the right times.
Aristotle
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.
Aristotle
If 'bounded by a surface' is the definition of body there cannot be an infinite body either intelligible or sensible.
Aristotle
Patience is so like fortitude that she seems either her sister or her daughter.
Aristotle
Metaphor is halfway between the unintelligible and the commonplace.
Aristotle
If then nature makes nothing without some end in view, nothing to no purpose, it must be that nature has made all of them for the sake of man.
Aristotle
PLOT is CHARACTER revealed by ACTION.
Aristotle
For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle
