More quotes by Aristotle
I seek to bring forth what you almost already know.
Aristotle
One who faces and who fears the right things and from the right motive, in the right way and at the right time, posseses character worthy of our trust and admiration.
Aristotle
God has many names, though He is only one Being.
Aristotle
Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.
Aristotle
Quid quid movetur ab alio movetur(nothing moves without having been moved).
Aristotle
Men create the gods after their own images.
Aristotle
When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so.
Aristotle
A whole is that which has a beginning, a middle and an end.
Aristotle
The soul has two parts, one rational and the other irrational. Let us now similarly divide the rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we contemplate those things which admit of variation.
Aristotle
What is the essence of life? To serve others and to do good.
Aristotle
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
Aristotle
All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established.
Aristotle
Happiness is self-connectedness.
Aristotle
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
When you feel yourself lacking something, send your thoughts towards your Intimate and search for the Divinity that lives within you.
Aristotle
Also, that which is desirable in itself is more desirable than what is desirable per accidens.
Aristotle
Now the soul of man is divided into two parts, one of which has a rational principle in itself, and the other, not having a rational principle in itself, is able to obey such a principle. And we call a man in any way good because he has the virtues of these two parts.
Aristotle
[Meanness] is more ingrained in man's nature than Prodigality the mass of mankind are avaricious rather than open-handed.
Aristotle
There are some jobs in which it is impossible for a man to be virtuous.
Aristotle
Friendship is a thing most necessary to life, since without friends no one would choose to live, though possessed of all other advantages.
Aristotle
