More quotes by Aristotle
The hardest victory is the victory over self.
Aristotle
Nature makes nothing incomplete, and nothing in vain.
Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
Aristotle
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle
Happiness is the highest good
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
In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead.
Aristotle
He who cannot see the truth for himself, nor, hearing it from others, store it away in his mind, that man is utterly worthless.
Aristotle
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
Aristotle
There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest man.
Aristotle
Emotions of any kind are produced by melody and rhythm therefore by music a man becomes accustomed to feeling the right emotions music has thus the power to form character, and the various kinds of music based on various modes may be distinguished by their effects on character.
Aristotle
Speeches are like babies-easy to conceive but hard to deliver.
Aristotle
But since there is but one aim for the entire state, it follows that education must be one and the same for all, and that the responsibility for it must be a public one, not the private affair which it now is, each man looking after his own children and teaching them privately whatever private curriculum he thinks they ought to study.
Aristotle
No one will dare maintain that it is better to do injustice than to bear it.
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
All proofs rest on premises.
Aristotle
Human good turns out to be activity of soul exhibiting excellence, and if there is more than one sort of excellence, in accordance with the best and most complete.Foroneswallowdoesnot makea summer, nor does one day and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
Since the things we do determine the character of life, no blessed person can become unhappy. For he will never do those things which are hateful and petty.
Aristotle
Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
Aristotle
