More quotes by Aristotle
There is a cropping-time in the races of men, as in the fruits of the field and sometimes, if the stock be good, there springs up for a time a succession of splendid men and then comes a period of barrenness.
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
Life is only meaningful when we are striving for a goal .
Aristotle
Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.
Aristotle
Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.
Aristotle
Of old, the demagogue was also a general, and then democracies changed into tyrannies. Most of the ancient tyrants were originally demagogues. They are not so now, but they were then and the reason is that they were generals and not orators, for oratory had not yet come into fashion.
Aristotle
These two rational faculties may be designated the Scientific Faculty and the Calculative Faculty respectively since calculation is the same as deliberation, and deliberation is never exercised about things that are invariable, so that the Calculative Faculty is a separate part of the rational half of the soul.
Aristotle
There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest man.
Aristotle
We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
Aristotle
No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things.
Aristotle
A man is his own best friend therefore he ought to love himself best.
Aristotle
A period may be defined as a portion of speech that has in itself a beginning and an end, being at the same time not too big to be taken in at a glance
Aristotle
Friendship is communion.
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
Neither old people nor sour people seem to make friends easily for there is little that is pleasant in them.
Aristotle
There is nothing unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.
Aristotle
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
Our problem is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit.
Aristotle
The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
Aristotle
