The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement - in fact, of nervous functions in general, - are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance.

More quotes by Aristotle
Meanness is incurable it cannot be cured by old age, or by anything else.
Aristotle
Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyranny.
Aristotle
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.
Aristotle
Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.
Aristotle
In part, art completes what nature cannot elaborate and in part it imitates nature.
Aristotle
For the real difference between humans and other animals is that humans alone have perception of good and evil, just and unjust, etc. It is the sharing of a common view in these matters that makes a household and a state.
Aristotle
There are some jobs in which it is impossible for a man to be virtuous.
Aristotle
Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.
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
Where some people are very wealthy and others have nothing, the result will be either extreme democracy or absolute oligarchy, or despotism will come from either of those excesses.
Aristotle
Man by Nature desires to know.
Aristotle
The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward.
Aristotle
The man who is content to live alone is either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
A good style must, first of all, be clear. It must not be mean or above the dignity of the subject. It must be appropriate.
Aristotle
The senses are gateways to the intelligence. There is nothing in the intelligence which did not first pass through the senses.
Aristotle
There is no such thing as committing adultery with the right woman, at the right time, and in the right way, for it is simply WRONG.
Aristotle
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
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
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the first move-and he, in turn, waits for you.
Aristotle
