More quotes by Aristotle
It is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
Some believe it to be just friends wanting, as if to be healthy enough to wish health.
Aristotle
In practical matters the end is not mere speculative knowledge of what is to be done, but rather the doing of it. It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it, or to take any other steps that may make.
Aristotle
Happiness does not lie in amusement it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself.
Aristotle
He is his own best friend and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude.
Aristotle
Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.
Aristotle
... a science must deal with a subject and its properties.
Aristotle
Even that some people try deceived me many times ... I will not fail to believe that somewhere, someone deserves my trust.
Aristotle
Man by Nature desires to know.
Aristotle
Legislative enactments proceed from men carrying their views a long time back while judicial decisions are made off hand.
Aristotle
Character is revealed through action.
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
And this lies in the nature of things: What people are potentially is revealed in actuality by what they produce.
Aristotle
Every formed disposition of the soul realizes its full nature in relation to and dealing with that class of objects by which it is its nature to be corrupted or improved.
Aristotle
For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.
Aristotle
You can never learn anything that you did not already know
Aristotle
Prayers and sacrifices are of no avail.
Aristotle
The true end of tragedy is to purify the passions.
Aristotle
The real difference between democracy and oligarchy is poverty and wealth. Wherever men rule by reason of their wealth, whether they be few or many, that is an oligarchy, and where the poor rule, that is a democracy.
Aristotle
