More quotes by Aristotle
We work to earn our leisure.
Aristotle
Adoration is made out of a solitary soul occupying two bodies.
Aristotle
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
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
Those whose days are consumed in the low pursuits of avarice, or the gaudy frivolties of fashion, unobservant of nature's lovelinessof demarcation, nor on which side thereof an intermediate form should lie.
Aristotle
A good man may make the best even of poverty and disease, and the other ills of life but he can only attain happiness under the opposite conditions
Aristotle
Authority is no source for Truth.
Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
Aristotle
But the whole vital process of the earth takes place so gradually and in periods of time which are so immense compared with the length of our life, that these changes are not observed, and before their course can be recorded from beginning to end whole nations perish and are destroyed.
Aristotle
In practical matters the end is not mere speculative knowledge of what is to be done, but rather the doing of it. It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it, or to take any other steps that may make.
Aristotle
Happiness involves engagement in activities that promote one's highest potentials.
Aristotle
Character is revealed through action.
Aristotle
...The entire preoccupation of the physicist is with things that contain within themselves a principle of movement and rest.
Aristotle
The shape of the heaven is of necessity spherical for that is the shape most appropriate to its substance and also by nature primary.
Aristotle
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
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
Men pay most attention to what is their own: they care less for what is common or, at any rate, they care for it only to the extent to which each is individually concerned.
Aristotle
If the hammer and the shuttle could move themselves, slavery would be unnecessary.
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
Purpose ... is held to be most closely connected with virtue, and to be a better token of our character than are even our acts.
Aristotle
