More quotes by Aristotle
The shape of the heaven is of necessity spherical for that is the shape most appropriate to its substance and also by nature primary.
Aristotle
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.
Aristotle
Meanness is incurable it cannot be cured by old age, or by anything else.
Aristotle
A city is composed of different kinds of men similar people cannot bring a city into existence.
Aristotle
The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.
Aristotle
Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it men come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp. In the same way, by doing just acts we come to be just by doing self-controlled acts, we come to be self-controlled and by doing brave acts, we become brave.
Aristotle
The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
Aristotle
When the citizens at large administer the state for the common interest, the government is called by the generic name - a constitution.
Aristotle
It is true, indeed, that the account Plato gives in 'Timaeus' is different from what he says in his so-called 'unwritten teachings.'
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
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
Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
Aristotle
In general, what is written must be easy to read and easy to speak which is the same.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
It is no part of a physician's business to use either persuasion or compulsion upon the patients.
Aristotle
The light of the day is followed by night, as a shadow follows a body.
Aristotle
The attainment of truth is then the function of both the intellectual parts of the soul. Therefore their respective virtues are those dispositions which will best qualify them to attain truth.
Aristotle
All art is concerned with coming into being for it is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature.
Aristotle
There are some jobs in which it is impossible for a man to be virtuous.
Aristotle
