More quotes by Aristotle
We are the sum of our actions, and therefore our habits make all the difference.
Aristotle
When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so.
Aristotle
The appropriate age for marrige is around eighteen and thirty-seven for man
Aristotle
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Aristotle
The man who confers a favour would rather not be repaid in the same coin.
Aristotle
Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
Aristotle
Happiness is a thing honored and perfect. This seems to be borne out by the fact that it is a first principle or starting-point, since all other things that all men do are done for its sake and that which is the first principle and cause of things good we agree to be something honorable and divine.
Aristotle
In most constitutional states the citizens rule and are ruled by turns, for the idea of a constitutional state implies that the natures of the citizens are equal, and do not differ at all.
Aristotle
Pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible.
Aristotle
Poetry demands a man with a special gift for it, or else one with a touch of madness in him.
Aristotle
For it is not true, as some treatise-mongers lay down in their systems, of the probity of the speaker, that it contributes nothing to persuasion but moral character nearly, I may say, carries with it the most sovereign efficacy in making credible.
Aristotle
A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.
Aristotle
Patience s bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.
Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
We cannot ... prove geometrical truths by arithmetic.
Aristotle
Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
Aristotle
We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
Aristotle
A thing chosen always as an end and never as a means we call absolutely final. Now happiness above all else appears to be absolutely final in this sense, since we always choose it for its own sake and never as a means to something else.
Aristotle
But since there is but one aim for the entire state, it follows that education must be one and the same for all, and that the responsibility for it must be a public one, not the private affair which it now is, each man looking after his own children and teaching them privately whatever private curriculum he thinks they ought to study.
Aristotle
