More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
A body in motion can maintain this motion only if it remains in contact with a mover.
Aristotle
And inasmuch as the great-souled man deserves most, he must be the best of men for the better a man is the more he deserves, and he that is best deserves most. Therefore the truly great-souled man must be a good man. Indeed greatness in each of the virtues would seem to go with greatness of soul.
Aristotle

Those whose days are consumed in the low pursuits of avarice, or the gaudy frivolties of fashion, unobservant of nature's lovelinessof demarcation, nor on which side thereof an intermediate form should lie.
Aristotle
Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
Between friends there is no need for justice, but people who are just still need the quality of friendship and indeed friendliness is considered to be justice in the fullest sense.
Aristotle
Prayers and sacrifices are of no avail.
Aristotle
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.

Aristotle
