More quotes by Aristotle
The science that studies the supreme good for man is politics.
Aristotle
The so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles of mathematics were the principles of all things.
Aristotle
The only stable principle of government is equality according to proportion, and for every man to enjoy his own.
Aristotle
It is the active exercise of our faculties in conformity with virtue that causes happiness, and the opposite activities its opposite.
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
Aristotle
Opinion involves belief (for without belief in what we opine we cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often find imagination we never find belief.
Aristotle
Happiness does not lie in amusement it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself.
Aristotle
To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.
Aristotle
Before you heal the body you must first heal the mind
Aristotle
It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
A speaker who is attempting to move people to thought or action must concern himself with Pathos.
Aristotle
The democrats think that as they are equal they ought to be equal in all things.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we can have what we want in the future
Aristotle
Happiness depends on ourselves.
Aristotle
It is not sufficient to know what one ought to say, but one must also know how to say it.
Aristotle
The life of theoretical philosophy is the best and happiest a man can lead. Few men are capable of it and then only intermittently. For the rest there is a second-best way of life, that of moral virtue and practical wisdom.
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
Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
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
