More quotes by Aristotle
Therefore, even the lover of myth is a philosopher for myth is composed of wonder.
Aristotle
Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued withthe same passion and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
If then nature makes nothing without some end in view, nothing to no purpose, it must be that nature has made all of them for the sake of man.
Aristotle
Even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion. We may conclude then that the law is reason without passion, and it is therefore preferable to any individual.
Aristotle
We cannot ... prove geometrical truths by arithmetic.
Aristotle
Law is mind without reason.
Aristotle
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Aristotle
The soul has two parts, one rational and the other irrational. Let us now similarly divide the rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we contemplate those things which admit of variation.
Aristotle
These two rational faculties may be designated the Scientific Faculty and the Calculative Faculty respectively since calculation is the same as deliberation, and deliberation is never exercised about things that are invariable, so that the Calculative Faculty is a separate part of the rational half of the soul.
Aristotle
Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action
Aristotle
Every virtue is a mean between two extremes, each of which is a vice.
Aristotle
