More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
The greatest victory is over self.
Aristotle
...one Greek city state had a fundamental law: anyone proposing revisions to the constitution did so with a noose around his neck. If his proposal lost he was instantly hanged.
Aristotle

Aristotle
The weak are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay no heed to either.

Aristotle
Justice is Equality...but equality of what?
Aristotle
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
Aristotle
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to expect that amount of exactness which the nature of the particular subject admits. It is equally unreasonable to accept merely probable conclusions from a mathematician and to demand strict demonstration from an orator.
Aristotle
Worthless persons appointed to have supreme control of weighty affairs do a lot of damage.
Aristotle
Nature makes nothing incomplete, and nothing in vain.
Aristotle
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
Aristotle
