More quotes by Aristotle
There is always something new coming out of Africa.
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
Every wicked man is in ignorance as to what he ought to do, and from what to abstain, and it is because of error such as this that men become unjust and, in a word, wicked.
Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
Aristotle
Governments which have a regard to the common interest are constituted in accordance with strict principles of justice, and are therefore true forms but those which regard only the interest of the rulers are all defective and perverted forms, for they are despotic, whereas a state is a community of freemen.
Aristotle
The real difference between democracy and oligarchy is poverty and wealth. Wherever men rule by reason of their wealth, whether they be few or many, that is an oligarchy, and where the poor rule, that is a democracy.
Aristotle
It is the characteristic of the magnanimous man to ask no favor but to be ready to do kindness to others.
Aristotle
A democracy exists whenever those who are free and are not well-off, being in the majority, are in sovereign control of government, an oligarchy when control lies with the rich and better-born, these being few.
Aristotle
To the size of the state there is a limit, as there is to plants, animals and implements, for none of these retain their facility when they are too large.
Aristotle
No state will be well administered unless the middle class holds sway.
Aristotle
Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
Aristotle
Men come together in cities in order to live: they remain together in order to live the good life
Aristotle
Today you can start forming habits for overcoming all obstacles in life... even nicotine cravings
Aristotle
If happiness, then, is activity expressing virtue, it is reasonable for it to express the supreme virtue, which will be the virtueof the best thing.
Aristotle
Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action
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
Great is the good fortune of a state in which the citizens have a moderate and sufficient property.
Aristotle
Excellence is not an art. It is the habit of practice.
Aristotle
Even that some people try deceived me many times ... I will not fail to believe that somewhere, someone deserves my trust.
Aristotle
