More quotes by Aristotle
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
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

Aristotle
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
Why is it that all men who are outstanding in philosophy, poetry or the arts are melancholic?
Aristotle
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
Again, the male is by nature superior, and the female inferior and the one rules, and the other is ruled this principle, of necessity, extends to all mankind.
Aristotle
