More quotes by Aristotle
The many are more incorruptible than the few they are like the greater quantity of water which is less easily corrupted than a little.
Aristotle
So it is clear that the search for what is just is a search for the mean for the law is the mean.
Aristotle
Nature herself, as has been often said, requires that we should be able, not only to work well, but to use leisure well for, as I must repeat once again, the first principle of all action is leisure. Both are required, but leisure is better than occupation and is its end.
Aristotle
. .we would have to say that hereditary succession is harmful. You may say the king, having sovereign power, will not in that case hand over to his children. But it is hard to believe that: it is a difficult achievement, which expects too much virtue of human nature.
Aristotle
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
Aristotle
Boundaries don't protect rivers, people do.
Aristotle
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
Goodness is to do good to the deserving and love the good and hate the wicked, and not to be eager to inflict punishment or take vengeance, but to be gracious and kindly and forgiving.
Aristotle
Every man should be responsible to others, nor should any one be allowed to do just as he pleases for where absolute freedom is allowed, there is nothing to restrain the evil which is inherent in every man.
Aristotle
That body is heavier than another which, in an equal bulk, moves downward quicker.
Aristotle
The man who is truly good and wise will bear with dignity whatever fortune sends, and will always make the best of his circumstances.
Aristotle
Patience s bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
It is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.
Aristotle
Just as at the Olympic games it is not the handsomest or strongest men who are crowned with victory but the successful competitors, so in life it is those who act rightly who carry off all the prizes and rewards.
Aristotle
Those who cannot bravely face danger are the slaves of their attackers.
Aristotle
He overcomes a stout enemy who overcomes his own anger.
Aristotle
Also, that which is desirable in itself is more desirable than what is desirable per accidens.
Aristotle
A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself . . . with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.
Aristotle
A man who examines each subject from a philosophical standpoint cannot neglect them: he has to omit nothing, and state the truth about each topic.
Aristotle
