More quotes by Aristotle
Speeches are like babies-easy to conceive but hard to deliver.
Aristotle
A thing chosen always as an end and never as a means we call absolutely final. Now happiness above all else appears to be absolutely final in this sense, since we always choose it for its own sake and never as a means to something else.
Aristotle
We must not feel a childish disgust at the investigations of the meaner animals. For there is something marvelous in all natural things.
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.
Aristotle
Men become richer not only by increasing their existing wealth but also by decreasing their expenditure.
Aristotle
Dissimilarity of habit tends more than anything to destroy affection.
Aristotle
Even if we could suppose the citizen body to be virtuous, without each of them being so, yet the latter would be better, for in the virtue of each the virtue of all is involved.
Aristotle
Pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible.
Aristotle
A speaker who is attempting to move people to thought or action must concern himself with Pathos.
Aristotle
It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want.
Aristotle
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
Aristotle
Human beings are curious by nature.
Aristotle
He is courageous who endures and fears the right thing, for the right motive, in the right way and at the right times.
Aristotle
To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.
Aristotle
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
Aristotle
Men cling to life even at the cost of enduring great misfortune.
Aristotle
You should never think without an image.
Aristotle
For that which has become habitual, becomes as it were natural.
Aristotle
Friendship also seems to be the bond that hold communities together.
Aristotle
