More quotes by Aristotle
The intelligence consists not only in the knowledge but also in the skill to apply the knowledge into practice.
Aristotle
But it is not at all certain that this superiority of the many over the sound few is possible in the case of every people and every large number. There are some whom it would be impossible: otherwise the theory would apply to wild animals- and yet some men are hardly any better than wild animals.
Aristotle
The male has more teeth than the female in mankind, and sheep and goats, and swine. This has not been observed in other animals. Those persons which have the greatest number of teeth are the longest lived those which have them widely separated, smaller, and more scattered, are generally more short lived.
Aristotle
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
We ought, so far as it lies within our power, to aspire to immortality, and do all that we can to live in conformity with the highest that is within us for even if it is small in quantity, in power and preciousness, it far excels all the rest.
Aristotle
Evils draw men together.
Aristotle
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Aristotle
When the citizens at large administer the state for the common interest, the government is called by the generic name - a constitution.
Aristotle
A friend of everyone is a friend of no one
Aristotle
Quid quid movetur ab alio movetur(nothing moves without having been moved).
Aristotle
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Aristotle
A man who examines each subject from a philosophical standpoint cannot neglect them: he has to omit nothing, and state the truth about each topic.
Aristotle
One who faces and who fears the right things and from the right motive, in the right way and at the right time, posseses character worthy of our trust and admiration.
Aristotle
For imagining lies within our power whenever we wish . . . but in forming opinons we are not free . . .
Aristotle
One kind of justice is that which is manifested in distributions of honour or money or the other things that fall to be divided among those who have a share in the constitution ... and another kind is that which plays a rectifying part in transactions.
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
It will contribute towards one's object, who wishes to acquire a facility in the gaining of knowledge, to doubt judiciously.
Aristotle
Whether we call it sacrifice, or poetry, or adventure, it is always the same voice that calls.
Aristotle
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
Aristotle
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
Aristotle
