More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
Nature herself, as has been often said, requires that we should be able, not only to work well, but to use leisure well for, as I must repeat once again, the first principle of all action is leisure. Both are required, but leisure is better than occupation and is its end.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Men must be able to engage in business and go to war, but leisure and peace are better they must do what is necessary and indeed what is useful, but what is honorable is better. On such principles children and persons of every age which requires education should be trained.
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
Love well, be loved and do something of value.
Aristotle
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.
Aristotle
...happiness is an activity and a complete utilization of virtue, not conditionally but absolutely.
Aristotle
Happiness is a state of activity.
Aristotle
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Aristotle
So it is clear that the search for what is just is a search for the mean for the law is the mean.
Aristotle
