More quotes by Aristotle
The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle
It has been well said that 'he who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.' The two are not the same, but the good citizen ought to be capable of both he should know how to govern like a freeman, and how to obey like a freeman - these are the virtues of a citizen.
Aristotle
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Aristotle
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
These two rational faculties may be designated the Scientific Faculty and the Calculative Faculty respectively since calculation is the same as deliberation, and deliberation is never exercised about things that are invariable, so that the Calculative Faculty is a separate part of the rational half of the soul.
Aristotle
Friendship is communion.
Aristotle
A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense at everything.
Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
The soul has two parts, one rational and the other irrational. Let us now similarly divide the rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we contemplate those things which admit of variation.
Aristotle
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
...for all men do their acts with a view to achieving something which is, in their view, a good.
Aristotle
The high-minded man is fond of conferring benefits, but it shames him to receive them.
Aristotle
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle
Everybody loves a thing more if it has cost him trouble: for instance those who have made money love money more than those who have inherited it.
Aristotle
Property should be in a certain sense common, but, as a general rule, private for, when every one has a distinct interest, men will not complain of one another, and they will make more progress, because every one will be attending to his own business.
Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
And yet the true creator is necessity, which is the mother of invention.
Aristotle
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
Neither old people nor sour people seem to make friends easily for there is little that is pleasant in them.
Aristotle
