More quotes by Aristotle
Find the good. Seek the Unity. Ignore the divisions among us.
Aristotle
Any change of government which has to be introduced should be one which men, starting from their existing constitutions, will be both willing and able to adopt, since there is quite as much trouble in the reformation of an old constitution as in the establishment of a new one, just as to unlearn is as hard as to learn.
Aristotle
Boundaries don't protect rivers, people do.
Aristotle
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
Aristotle

Aristotle
There is nothing unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.
Aristotle
For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle

Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
It is not easy for a person to do any great harm when his tenure of office is short, whereas long possession begets tyranny.
Aristotle
While fiction is often impossible, it should not be implausible.
Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.
Aristotle
Whether we will philosophize or we won't philosophize, we must philosophize.
Aristotle
These two rational faculties may be designated the Scientific Faculty and the Calculative Faculty respectively since calculation is the same as deliberation, and deliberation is never exercised about things that are invariable, so that the Calculative Faculty is a separate part of the rational half of the soul.
Aristotle
It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.
Aristotle
