More quotes by Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.
Aristotle
If the art of ship-building were in the wood, ships would exist by nature.
Aristotle
In everything, it is no easy task to find the middle.
Aristotle
Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.
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
Victory is plesant, not only to those who love to conquer, bot to all for there is produced an idea of superiority, which all with more or less eagerness desire.
Aristotle
No state will be well administered unless the middle class holds sway.
Aristotle
Through discipline comes freedom.
Aristotle
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle
The man who confers a favour would rather not be repaid in the same coin.
Aristotle
He overcomes a stout enemy who overcomes his own anger.
Aristotle
It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
The society that loses its grip on the past is in danger, for it produces men who know nothing but the present, and who are not aware that life had been, and could be, different from what it is.
Aristotle
Love well, be loved and do something of value.
Aristotle
Of the tyrant, spies and informers are the principal instruments. War is his favorite occupation, for the sake of engrossing the attention of the people, and making himself necessary to them as their leader.
Aristotle
No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.
Aristotle
In the case of some people, not even if we had the most accurate scientific knowledge, would it be easy to persuade them were we to address them through the medium of that knowledge for a scientific discourse, it is the privilege of education to appreciate, and it is impossible that this should extend to the multitude.
Aristotle
Aristocracy is that form of government in which education and discipline are qualifications for suffrage and office holding.
Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
No man of high and generous spirit is ever willing to indulge in flattery the good may feel affection for others, but will not flatter them.
Aristotle
