More quotes by Aristotle
Wit is well-bred insolence.
Aristotle
We are what we continually do.
Aristotle
Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.
Aristotle
It is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
The activity of God, which is transcendent in blessedness, is the activity of contemplation and therefore among human activities that which is most akin to the divine activity of contemplation will be the greatest source of happiness.
Aristotle
Of old, the demagogue was also a general, and then democracies changed into tyrannies. Most of the ancient tyrants were originally demagogues. They are not so now, but they were then and the reason is that they were generals and not orators, for oratory had not yet come into fashion.
Aristotle
If, therefore, there is any one superior in virtue and in the power of performing the best actions, him we ought to follow and obey, but he must have the capacity for action as well as virtue.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Aristotle
In general, what is written must be easy to read and easy to speak which is the same.
Aristotle
In part, art completes what nature cannot elaborate and in part it imitates nature.
Aristotle
As for the story, whether the poet takes it ready made or constructs it for himself, he should first sketch its general outline, and then fill in the episodes and amplify in detail.
Aristotle
All that one gains by falsehood is, not to be believed when he speaks the truth.
Aristotle
The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.
Aristotle
God has many names, though He is only one Being.
Aristotle
That which is excellent endures.
Aristotle
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
Wit is cultured insolence.
Aristotle
It is no easy task to be good.
Aristotle
