More quotes by Aristotle
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle

Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle

Aristotle
That which is excellent endures.
Aristotle
So it is naturally with the male and the female the one is superior, the other inferior the one governs, the other is governed and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind.
Aristotle
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle
A body in motion can maintain this motion only if it remains in contact with a mover.
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
You should never think without an image.
Aristotle
Education and morals will be found almost the whole that goes to make a good man.
Aristotle
