For the real difference between humans and other animals is that humans alone have perception of good and evil, just and unjust, etc. It is the sharing of a common view in these matters that makes a household and a state.

More quotes by Aristotle
The good lawgiver should inquire how states and races of men and communities may participate in a good life, and in the happiness which is attainable by them.
Aristotle
The activity of happiness must occupy an entire lifetime for one swallow does not a summer make.
Aristotle
Patience is so like fortitude that she seems either her sister or her daughter.
Aristotle
Now the soul of man is divided into two parts, one of which has a rational principle in itself, and the other, not having a rational principle in itself, is able to obey such a principle. And we call a man in any way good because he has the virtues of these two parts.
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
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
.. for desire is like a wild beast, and anger perverts rulers and the very best of men. Hence law is intelligence without appetition.
Aristotle
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
I was not alone when I was in Goofy hell
Aristotle
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
Aristotle
To give a satisfactory decision as to the truth it is necessary to be rather an arbitrator than a party to the dispute.
Aristotle
Men cling to life even at the cost of enduring great misfortune.
Aristotle
We may assume the superiority ceteris paribus of the demonstration which derives from fewer postulates or hypotheses - in short, from fewer premises.
Aristotle
You can never learn anything that you did not already know
Aristotle
A friend of everyone is a friend of no one
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
My lectures are published and not published they will be intelligible to those who heard them, and to none beside.
Aristotle
Governments which have a regard to the common interest are constituted in accordance with strict principles of justice, and are therefore true forms but those which regard only the interest of the rulers are all defective and perverted forms, for they are despotic, whereas a state is a community of freemen.
Aristotle
A goal gets us motivated,while a good habit keeps us stay motivated.
Aristotle
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
