More quotes by Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness.
Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
But also philosophy is not about perceptible substances they, you see, are prone to destruction.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we can have what we want in the future
Aristotle
We are not angry with people we fear or respect, as long as we fear or respect them you cannot be afraid of a person and also at the same time angry with him.
Aristotle
The man who is truly good and wise will bear with dignity whatever fortune sends, and will always make the best of his circumstances.
Aristotle
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
Being a father is the most rewarding thing a man whose career has plateaued can do.
Aristotle
The majority of mankind would seem to be beguiled into error by pleasure, which, not being really a good, yet seems to be so. So that they indiscriminately choose as good whatsoever gives them pleasure, while they avoid all pain alike as evil.
Aristotle
The proof that you know something is that you are able to teach it
Aristotle
A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.
Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established.
Aristotle
We work to earn our leisure.
Aristotle
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Aristotle
The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.
Aristotle
Where the laws are not supreme, there demagogues spring up.
Aristotle
It is the active exercise of our faculties in conformity with virtue that causes happiness, and the opposite activities its opposite.
Aristotle
