More quotes by Aristotle
The virtue of a faculty is related to the special function which that faculty performs.

Of these, Sensation never originates action, as is shown by the fact that animals have sensation but are not capable of action.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Happiness is a thing honored and perfect. This seems to be borne out by the fact that it is a first principle or starting-point, since all other things that all men do are done for its sake and that which is the first principle and cause of things good we agree to be something honorable and divine.
Aristotle
For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize... They were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.
Aristotle
Man perfected by society is the best of all animals he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice.

Aristotle
The right constitutions, three in number- kingship, aristocracy, and polity- and the deviations from these, likewise three in number - tyranny from kingship, oligarchy from aristocracy, democracy from polity.
Aristotle

We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends behave to us
Aristotle
