Aristotle

Aristotle
It has been handed down in mythical form from earliest times to posterity, that there are gods, and that the divine (Deity) compasses all nature.

Aristotle

Aristotle
Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued withthe same passion and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form.
Aristotle
There is a cropping-time in the races of men, as in the fruits of the field and sometimes, if the stock be good, there springs up for a time a succession of splendid men and then comes a period of barrenness.
Aristotle
In a polity, each citizen is to possess his own arms, which are not supplied or owned by the state.
Aristotle
