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
...for all men do their acts with a view to achieving something which is, in their view, a good.
Aristotle
All proofs rest on premises.
Aristotle
The bad man is continually at war with, and in opposition to, himself.
Aristotle
Excellence or virtue is a settled disposition of the mind that determines our choice of actions and emotions and consists essentially in observing the mean relative to us ... a mean between two vices, that which depends on excess and that which depends on defect.
Aristotle
Happiness is self-connectedness.
Aristotle
A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility.
Aristotle
No state will be well administered unless the middle class holds sway.
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. All beside this has been added, after the mythical style, for the purpose of persuading the multitude, and for the interests of the laws, and the advantage of the state.
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
Men must be able to engage in business and go to war, but leisure and peace are better they must do what is necessary and indeed what is useful, but what is honorable is better. On such principles children and persons of every age which requires education should be trained.
Aristotle
It makes no difference whether a good man has defrauded a bad man, or a bad man defrauded a good man, or whether a good or bad man has committed adultery: the law can look only to the amount of damage done.
Aristotle
When you feel yourself lacking something, send your thoughts towards your Intimate and search for the Divinity that lives within you.
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
The virtue of a faculty is related to the special function which that faculty performs. Now there are three elements in the soul which control action and the attainment of truth: namely, Sensation, Intellect, and Desire. Of these, Sensation never originates action, as is shown by the fact that animals have sensation but are not capable of action.
Aristotle
The soul suffers when the body is diseased or traumatized, while the body suffers when the soul is ailing.
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle
To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.
Aristotle
Let us first understand the facts and then we may seek the cause.
Aristotle
A friend is a second self, so that our consciousness of a friend's existence...makes us more fully conscious of our own existence.
Aristotle
