More quotes by Aristotle
A man who examines each subject from a philosophical standpoint cannot neglect them: he has to omit nothing, and state the truth about each topic.
Aristotle

Aristotle
There is always something new coming out of Africa.
Aristotle
The brave man, if he be compared with the coward, seems foolhardy and, if with the foolhardy man, seems a coward.
Aristotle
The good man is he for whom, because he is virtuous, the things that are absolutely good are good it is also plain that his use of these goods must be virtuous and in the absolute sense good.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Aristotle
The soul suffers when the body is diseased or traumatized, while the body suffers when the soul is ailing.
Aristotle
What is the highest good in all matters of action? To the name, there is almost complete agreement for uneducated and educated alike call it happiness, and make happiness identical with the good life and successful living. They disagree, however, about the meaning of happiness.
Aristotle
To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.
Aristotle
Selfishness doesn't consist in a love to yourself, but in a big degree of such love.
Aristotle
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
Youth should stay away from all evil, especially things that produce wickedness and ill-will.
Aristotle
