More quotes by Aristotle
The law is reason unaffected by desire.
Aristotle
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle
... There must then be a principle of such a kind that its substance is activity.
Aristotle
The hardest victory is the victory over self.
Aristotle
Happiness is the highest good
Aristotle
Aristocracy is that form of government in which education and discipline are qualifications for suffrage and office holding.
Aristotle
Your happiness depends on you alone.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
We are the sum of our actions, and therefore our habits make all the difference.
Aristotle
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle
Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.
Aristotle
Shipping magnate of the 20th century If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
Aristotle
Bad people...are in conflict with themselves they desire one thing and will another, like the incontinent who choose harmful pleasures instead of what they themselves believe to be good.
Aristotle
As to adultery, let it be held disgraceful, in general, for any man or woman to be found in any way unfaithful when they are married, and called husband and wife. If during the time of bearing children anything of the sort occur, let the guilty person be punished with a loss of privileges in proportion to the offense.
Aristotle
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle
Men cling to life even at the cost of enduring great misfortune.
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
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.
Aristotle
