More quotes by Aristotle
Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.
Aristotle
The weak are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay no heed to either.
Aristotle
Now the soul of man is divided into two parts, one of which has a rational principle in itself, and the other, not having a rational principle in itself, is able to obey such a principle. And we call a man in any way good because he has the virtues of these two parts.
Aristotle
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
Dissimilarity of habit tends more than anything to destroy affection.
Aristotle
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
Aristotle
The hand is the tool of tools.
Aristotle
Law is order, and good law is good order.

Aristotle

Aristotle
Speeches are like babies-easy to conceive but hard to deliver.
Aristotle
The greater the length, the more beautiful will the piece be by reason of its size, provided that the whole be perspicuous.
Aristotle
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
Aristotle
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle
It is not enough to win a war it is more important to organize the peace.
Aristotle
