More quotes by Aristotle
One kind of justice is that which is manifested in distributions of honour or money or the other things that fall to be divided among those who have a share in the constitution ... and another kind is that which plays a rectifying part in transactions.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to expect that amount of exactness which the nature of the particular subject admits. It is equally unreasonable to accept merely probable conclusions from a mathematician and to demand strict demonstration from an orator.
Aristotle
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
Aristotle
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle
A state is an association of similar persons whose aim is the best life possible. What is best is happiness, and to be happy is an active exercise of virtue and a complete employment of it.
Aristotle
Teachers, who educate children, deserve more honour than parents, who merely gave them birth for the latter provided mere life, while the former ensure a good life.
Aristotle
Now the soul of man is divided into two parts, one of which has a rational principle in itself, and the other, not having a rational principle in itself, is able to obey such a principle. And we call a man in any way good because he has the virtues of these two parts.
Aristotle
Democracy is the form of government in which the free are rulers.
Aristotle
The souls ability to nourish itself lies in the heart.
Aristotle
Happiness involves engagement in activities that promote one's highest potentials.
Aristotle
In practical matters the end is not mere speculative knowledge of what is to be done, but rather the doing of it. It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it, or to take any other steps that may make.
Aristotle
No one will dare maintain that it is better to do injustice than to bear it.
Aristotle
A friend of everyone is a friend of no one
Aristotle
Men create the gods after their own images.
Aristotle
The life of money-making is one undertaken under compulsion, and wealth is evidently not the good we are seeking for it is merely useful and for the sake of something else.
Aristotle
Being a father is the most rewarding thing a man whose career has plateaued can do.
Aristotle
The body is most fully developed from thirty to thirty-five years of age, the mind at about forty-nine.
Aristotle
Man by nature wants to know.
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.
Aristotle
