More quotes by Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness.
Aristotle
Where some people are very wealthy and others have nothing, the result will be either extreme democracy or absolute oligarchy, or despotism will come from either of those excesses.
Aristotle
If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much. But indeed there is always a difficulty in men living together and having all human relations in common, but especially in their having common property.
Aristotle
A courageous person is one who faces fearful things as he ought and as reason directs for the sake of what is noble.
Aristotle
The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.
Aristotle
Madness is badness of spirit, when one seeks profit from all sources.
Aristotle
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. As in other sciences, so in politics, it is impossible that all things should be precisely set down in writing for enactments must be universal, but actions are concerned with particulars. Hence we infer that sometimes and in certain cases laws may be changed.
Aristotle
Where the laws are not supreme, there demagogues spring up.
Aristotle
... a science must deal with a subject and its properties.
Aristotle
It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.
Aristotle
Every wicked man is in ignorance as to what he ought to do, and from what to abstain, and it is because of error such as this that men become unjust and, in a word, wicked.
Aristotle
Again, the male is by nature superior, and the female inferior and the one rules, and the other is ruled this principle, of necessity, extends to all mankind.
Aristotle
It was through the feeling of wonder that men now and at first began to philosophize.
Aristotle
Patience s bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement - in fact, of nervous functions in general, - are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance.
Aristotle
There is no such thing as committing adultery with the right woman, at the right time, and in the right way, for it is simply WRONG.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
He then alone will strictly be called brave who is fearless of a noble death, and of all such chances as come upon us with sudden death in their train.
Aristotle
