More quotes by Aristotle
He overcomes a stout enemy who overcomes his own anger.
Aristotle
The structural unity of the parts is such that, if any one of them is displaced or removed, the whole will be disjointed and disturbed. For a thing whose presence or absence makes no visible difference is not an organic part of the whole.
Aristotle
As for the story, whether the poet takes it ready made or constructs it for himself, he should first sketch its general outline, and then fill in the episodes and amplify in detail.
Aristotle
Madness is badness of spirit, when one seeks profit from all sources.
Aristotle
Shipping magnate of the 20th century If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
Aristotle
Again, the male is by nature superior, and the female inferior and the one rules, and the other is ruled this principle, of necessity, extends to all mankind.
Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
The only stable principle of government is equality according to proportion, and for every man to enjoy his own.
Aristotle
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.
Aristotle
Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
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
Friendship is a thing most necessary to life, since without friends no one would choose to live, though possessed of all other advantages.
Aristotle
The secret to humor is surprise.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
Aristotle
Fortune favours the bold.
Aristotle
