When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so.
Aristotle

More quotes by Aristotle
We make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
So that the lover of myths, which are a compact of wonders, is by the same token a lover of wisdom.
Aristotle
Our actions determine our dispositions.
Aristotle
The arousing of prejudice, pity, anger, and similar emotions has nothing to do with the essential facts, but is merely a personal appeal to the man who is judging the case.
Aristotle
To die, and thus avoid poverty or love, or anything painful, is not the part of a brave man, but rather of a coward for it is cowardice to avoid trouble, and the suicide does not undergo death because it is honorable, but in order to avoid evil.
Aristotle
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
Fortune favours the bold.
Aristotle
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
Aristotle
All flatterers are mercenary, and all low-minded men are flatterers.
Aristotle
It will contribute towards one's object, who wishes to acquire a facility in the gaining of knowledge, to doubt judiciously.
Aristotle
Law is order, and good law is good order.
Aristotle
Those that deem politics beneath their dignity are doomed to be governed by those of lesser talents.
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
We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
Aristotle
Thus then a single harmony orders the composition of the whole...by the mingling of the most contrary principles.
Aristotle
Adoration is made out of a solitary soul occupying two bodies.
Aristotle
It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
Concerning the generation of animals akin to them, as hornets and wasps, the facts in all cases are similar to a certain extent, but are devoid of the extraordinary features which characterize bees this we should expect, for they have nothing divine about them as the bees have.
Aristotle
There is only one condition in which we can imagine managers not needing subordinates, and masters not needing slaves. This condition would be that each (inanimate) instrument could do its own work.
Aristotle
