More quotes by Aristotle
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
Aristotle
The hand is the tool of tools.
Aristotle
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
But also philosophy is not about perceptible substances they, you see, are prone to destruction.
Aristotle
Democracy is the form of government in which the free are rulers, and oligarchy in which the rich it is only an accident that the free are the many and the rich are the few.
Aristotle
No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.
Aristotle
Poetry demands a man with a special gift for it, or else one with a touch of madness in him.
Aristotle
Wicked men obey for fear, but the good for love.
Aristotle
He then alone will strictly be called brave who is fearless of a noble death, and of all such chances as come upon us with sudden death in their train.
Aristotle
Each human being is bred with a unique set of potentials that yearn to be fulfilled as surely as the acorn yearns to become the oak within it.
Aristotle
So it is clear that the search for what is just is a search for the mean for the law is the mean.
Aristotle
Perhaps here we have a clue to the reason why royal rule used to exist formerly, namely the difficulty of finding enough men of outstanding virtue.
Aristotle
Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.
Aristotle
The most beautiful colors laid on at random, give less pleasure than a black-and-white drawing.
Aristotle
All human happiness and misery take the form of action.
Aristotle
Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.
Aristotle
Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
