More quotes by Aristotle
It is clear that those constitutions which aim at the common good are right, as being in accord with absolute justice while those which aim only at the good of the rulers are wrong.
Aristotle
Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action
Aristotle
Every wicked man is in ignorance as to what he ought to do, and from what to abstain, and it is because of error such as this that men become unjust and, in a word, wicked.
Aristotle
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle
Without virtue it is difficult to bear gracefully the honors of fortune.
Aristotle
So the good has been well explained as that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
It is true, indeed, that the account Plato gives in 'Timaeus' is different from what he says in his so-called 'unwritten teachings.'
Aristotle
Man perfected by society is the best of all animals he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law and without justice. If he finds himself an individual who cannot live in society, or who pretends he has need of only his own resources do not consider him as a member of humanity he is a savage beast or a god.
Aristotle
Wicked men obey for fear, but the good for love.

Aristotle
Some believe it to be just friends wanting, as if to be healthy enough to wish health.
Aristotle
The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to expect that amount of exactness which the nature of the particular subject admits. It is equally unreasonable to accept merely probable conclusions from a mathematician and to demand strict demonstration from an orator.
Aristotle
Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it men come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp. In the same way, by doing just acts we come to be just by doing self-controlled acts, we come to be self-controlled and by doing brave acts, we become brave.
Aristotle
The life of theoretical philosophy is the best and happiest a man can lead. Few men are capable of it and then only intermittently. For the rest there is a second-best way of life, that of moral virtue and practical wisdom.
Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.
Aristotle
It was through the feeling of wonder that men now and at first began to philosophize.
Aristotle
