The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.

More quotes by Aristotle
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
Aristotle
Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile?
Aristotle
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
Aristotle
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
Aristotle
Your happiness depends on you alone.
Aristotle
Happiness is prosperity combined with virtue.
Aristotle
The perversions are as follows: of royalty, tyranny of aristocracy, oligarchy of constitutional government, democracy.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways . . . while to succeed is possible only in one way (for which reason also one is easy and the other difficult - to miss the mark easy, to hit it difficult).
Aristotle
The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument or follow a long chain of reasoning.
Aristotle
Men are marked from the moment of birth to rule or be ruled.
Aristotle
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
It is more difficult to organize a peace than to win a war but the fruits of victory will be lost if the peace is not organized.
Aristotle
The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.
Aristotle
It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.
Aristotle
Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.
Aristotle
Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.
Aristotle
And so long as they were at war, their power was preserved, but when they had attained empire they fell, for of the arts of peace they knew nothing, and had never engaged in any employment higher than war.
Aristotle
Every virtue is a mean between two extremes, each of which is a vice.
Aristotle
Through discipline comes freedom.
Aristotle
Justice is Equality...but equality of what?
Aristotle
