More quotes by Aristotle
He who can be, and therefore is, another's, and he who participates in reason enough to apprehend, but not to have, is a slave by nature.
Aristotle
Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Aristotle
Laws, when good, should be supreme and that the magistrate or magistrates should regulate those matters only on which the laws are unable to speak with precision owing to the difficulty of any general principle embracing all particulars.
Aristotle
To the sober person adventurous conduct often seems insanity.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.
Aristotle
Liars when they speak the truth are not believed.
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
For good is simple, evil manifold.
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
The best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and his destiny.
Aristotle
Our virtues are voluntary (and in fact we are in a sense ourselves partly the cause of our moral dispositions, and it is our having a certain character that makes us set up an end of a certain kind), it follows that our vices are voluntary also they are voluntary in the same manner as our virtues.
Aristotle
Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.
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
If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much. But indeed there is always a difficulty in men living together and having all human relations in common, but especially in their having common property.
Aristotle
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Aristotle
Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are of the nature rather of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.
Aristotle
The intelligence consists not only in the knowledge but also in the skill to apply the knowledge into practice.
Aristotle
Our actions determine our dispositions.
Aristotle
