More quotes by Aristotle
One can aim at honor both as one ought, and more than one ought, and less than one ought. He whose craving for honor is excessive is said to be ambitious, and he who is deficient in this respect unambitious while he who observes the mean has no peculiar name.
Aristotle
He who cannot see the truth for himself, nor, hearing it from others, store it away in his mind, that man is utterly worthless.
Aristotle
I seek to bring forth what you almost already know.
Aristotle
Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action
Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
For good is simple, evil manifold.
Aristotle
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
We must not listen to those who advise us 'being men to think human thoughts, and being mortal to think mortal thoughts' but must put on immortality as much as possible and strain every nerve to live according to that best part of us, which, being small in bulk, yet much more in its power and honour surpasses all else.
Aristotle
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the first move-and he, in turn, waits for you.
Aristotle
Education and morals make the good man, the good statesman, the good ruler.
Aristotle
If, therefore, there is any one superior in virtue and in the power of performing the best actions, him we ought to follow and obey, but he must have the capacity for action as well as virtue.
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
It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.
Aristotle
The wise man knows of all things, as far as possible, although he has no knowledge of each of them in detail
Aristotle
Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.
Aristotle
Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
Aristotle
First, have a definite, clear practical ideal a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.
Aristotle
