More quotes by Aristotle
Leisure of itself gives pleasure and happiness and enjoyment of life, which are experienced, not by the busy man, but by those who have leisure.
Aristotle
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
Aristotle
A state is an association of similar persons whose aim is the best life possible. What is best is happiness, and to be happy is an active exercise of virtue and a complete employment of it.
Aristotle
No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things.
Aristotle
Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
Aristotle
It is better for a city to be governed by a good man than by good laws.
Aristotle
God has many names, though He is only one Being.
Aristotle
For it is not true, as some treatise-mongers lay down in their systems, of the probity of the speaker, that it contributes nothing to persuasion but moral character nearly, I may say, carries with it the most sovereign efficacy in making credible.
Aristotle
It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.
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
A man is his own best friend therefore he ought to love himself best.
Aristotle
Men cling to life even at the cost of enduring great misfortune.
Aristotle
Patience is so like fortitude that she seems either her sister or her daughter.
Aristotle
Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.
Aristotle
.. for desire is like a wild beast, and anger perverts rulers and the very best of men. Hence law is intelligence without appetition.
Aristotle
Excellence is not an art. It is the habit of practice.
Aristotle
For what is the best choice for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.
Aristotle
Find the good. Seek the Unity. Ignore the divisions among us.
Aristotle
Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure.
Aristotle
