Aristotle
It is our actions and the soul's active exercise of its functions that we posit (as being Happiness).
Aristotle
As to adultery, let it be held disgraceful, in general, for any man or woman to be found in any way unfaithful when they are married, and called husband and wife. If during the time of bearing children anything of the sort occur, let the guilty person be punished with a loss of privileges in proportion to the offense.
Aristotle
So we must lay it down that the association which is a state exists not for the purpose of living together but for the sake of noble actions.
Aristotle
. . . the man is free, we say, who exists for his own sake and not for another's.
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
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.
Aristotle

Aristotle
