More quotes by Aristotle
Opinion involves belief (for without belief in what we opine we cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often find imagination we never find belief.
Aristotle
It is clear that those constitutions which aim at the common good are right, as being in accord with absolute justice while those which aim only at the good of the rulers are wrong.
Aristotle
The right constitutions, three in number- kingship, aristocracy, and polity- and the deviations from these, likewise three in number - tyranny from kingship, oligarchy from aristocracy, democracy from polity.
Aristotle
Patience s bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
The true end of tragedy is to purify the passions.
Aristotle
Let us first understand the facts and then we may seek the cause.
Aristotle
No state will be well administered unless the middle class holds sway.
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
Should a man live underground, and there converse with the works of art and mechanism, and should afterwards be brought up into the open day, and see the several glories of the heaven and earth, he would immediately pronounce them the work of such a Being as we define God to be.
Aristotle
Yes the truth is that men's ambition and their desire to make money are among the most frequent causes of deliberate acts of injustice.
Aristotle
If the art of ship-building were in the wood, ships would exist by nature.
Aristotle
All things are full of gods.
Aristotle
Equity is that idea of justice which contravenes the written law.
Aristotle
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. As in other sciences, so in politics, it is impossible that all things should be precisely set down in writing for enactments must be universal, but actions are concerned with particulars. Hence we infer that sometimes and in certain cases laws may be changed.
Aristotle
We work to earn our leisure.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Aristotle
If you see a man approaching with the obvious intent of doing you good, run for your life. Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
To know what virtue is is not enough we must endeavor to possess and to practice it, or in some other manner actually ourselves to become good.
Aristotle
Wit is cultured insolence.
Aristotle
A friend to all is a friend to none.
Aristotle
