More quotes by 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

Aristotle
Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.
Aristotle
Of means of persuading by speaking there are three species: some consist in the character of the speaker others in the disposing the hearer a certain way others in the thing itself which is said, by reason of its proving, or appearing to prove the point.
Aristotle
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle
Excellence is not an art. It is the habit of practice.
Aristotle
That rule is the better which is exercised over better subjects.
Aristotle
Happiness is the highest good
Aristotle
It is better for a city to be governed by a good man than by good laws.
