More quotes by Aristotle
We are what we continually do.
Aristotle
Men become richer not only by increasing their existing wealth but also by decreasing their expenditure.
Aristotle
People do not naturally become morally excellent or practically wise. They become so, if at all, only as the result of lifelong personal and community effort.
Aristotle
It is better for a city to be governed by a good man than by good laws.
Aristotle
It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.
Aristotle
When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficing, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
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
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Aristotle
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
Aristotle
A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself . . . with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.
Aristotle
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle
If everything when it occupies an equal space is at rest, and if that which is in locomotion is always occupying such a space at any moment, the flying arrow is therefore motionless.
Aristotle
Equity is that idea of justice which contravenes the written law.
Aristotle
It is our actions and the soul's active exercise of its functions that we posit (as being Happiness).
Aristotle
The senses are gateways to the intelligence. There is nothing in the intelligence which did not first pass through the senses.
Aristotle
Goodness is to do good to the deserving and love the good and hate the wicked, and not to be eager to inflict punishment or take vengeance, but to be gracious and kindly and forgiving.
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
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
Any change of government which has to be introduced should be one which men, starting from their existing constitutions, will be both willing and able to adopt, since there is quite as much trouble in the reformation of an old constitution as in the establishment of a new one, just as to unlearn is as hard as to learn.
Aristotle
Equality is of two kinds, numerical and proportional by the first I mean sameness of equality in number or size by the second, equality of ratios.
Aristotle
