More quotes by Aristotle
To be always seeking after the useful does not become free and exalted souls.
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
Education and morals make the good man, the good statesman, the good ruler.
Aristotle
No one praises happiness as one praises justice, but we call it a 'blessing,' deeming it something higher and more divine than things we praise.
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
Aristotle
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Aristotle
Happiness comes from theperfect practice of virtue.
Aristotle
In justice is all virtues found in sum.
Aristotle
It is not sufficient to know what one ought to say, but one must also know how to say it.
Aristotle
Nothing is what rocks dream about
Aristotle
That which is impossible and probable is better than that which is possible and improbable.
Aristotle
Fate of empires depends on the education of youth
Aristotle
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Aristotle
When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war
Aristotle
It is the active exercise of our faculties in conformity with virtue that causes happiness, and the opposite activities its opposite.
Aristotle
Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
A line is not made up of points. ... In the same way, time is not made up parts considered as indivisible 'nows.' Part of Aristotle's reply to Zeno's paradox concerning continuity.
Aristotle
Happiness is something final and complete in itself, as being the aim and end of all practical activities whatever .... Happiness then we define as the active exercise of the mind in conformity with perfect goodness or virtue.
Aristotle
The man who confers a favour would rather not be repaid in the same coin.
Aristotle
