More quotes by Aristotle
That rule is the better which is exercised over better subjects.
Aristotle
Hence both women and children must be educated with an eye to the constitution, if indeed it makes any difference to the virtue of a city-state that its children be virtuous, and its women too. And it must make a difference, since half the free population are women, and from children come those who participate in the constitution.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways . . . while to succeed is possible only in one way (for which reason also one is easy and the other difficult - to miss the mark easy, to hit it difficult).
Aristotle
There is no such thing as committing adultery with the right woman, at the right time, and in the right way, for it is simply WRONG.
Aristotle
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.
Aristotle
You can never learn anything that you did not already know
Aristotle
It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.
Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
The senses are gateways to the intelligence. There is nothing in the intelligence which did not first pass through the senses.
Aristotle
Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character ofthe speaker the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind the third on the proof, provided by the words of the speech itself.
Aristotle
Greed has no boundaries
Aristotle
If, therefore, there is any one superior in virtue and in the power of performing the best actions, him we ought to follow and obey, but he must have the capacity for action as well as virtue.
Aristotle
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Aristotle
Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three.
Aristotle
It is no part of a physician's business to use either persuasion or compulsion upon the patients.
Aristotle
The most beautiful colors laid on at random, give less pleasure than a black-and-white drawing.
Aristotle
Education and morals will be found almost the whole that goes to make a good man.
Aristotle
It is clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are seeking, we must consider the following point: of what kind of principles and of what kind of causes is wisdom the knowledge?
Aristotle
Everybody loves a thing more if it has cost him trouble: for instance those who have made money love money more than those who have inherited it.
Aristotle
