More quotes by Aristotle
Where the laws are not supreme, there demagogues spring up.
Aristotle
When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war
Aristotle
For pleasure is a state of soul, and to each man that which he is said to be a lover of is pleasant.
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
Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three.
Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do.
Aristotle
I seek to bring forth what you almost already know.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
Since the things we do determine the character of life, no blessed person can become unhappy. For he will never do those things which are hateful and petty.
Aristotle
Aristocracy is that form of government in which education and discipline are qualifications for suffrage and office holding.
Aristotle
The virtue as the art consecrates itself constantly to what's difficult to do, and the harder the task, the shinier the success.
Aristotle
We, on the other hand, must take for granted that the things that exist by nature are, either all or some of them, in motion.
Aristotle
Nothing is what rocks dream about
Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
Tyrants preserve themselves by sowing fear and mistrust among the citizens by means of spies, by distracting them with foreign wars, by eliminating men of spirit who might lead a revolution, by humbling the people, and making them incapable of decisive action.
Aristotle
If the hammer and the shuttle could move themselves, slavery would be unnecessary.
Aristotle
A city is composed of different kinds of men similar people cannot bring a city into existence.
Aristotle
A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange. Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not mere companionship.
Aristotle
Every formed disposition of the soul realizes its full nature in relation to and dealing with that class of objects by which it is its nature to be corrupted or improved.
Aristotle
