More quotes by 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
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
The body is at its best between the ages of thirty and thirty-five.
Aristotle
It seems that ambition makes most people wish to be loved rather than to love others.
Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.
Aristotle
Man by Nature desires to know.
Aristotle
Nature makes nothing incomplete, and nothing in vain.
Aristotle
It is Homer who has chiefly taught other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.
Aristotle
Goodness is to do good to the deserving and love the good and hate the wicked, and not to be eager to inflict punishment or take vengeance, but to be gracious and kindly and forgiving.
Aristotle
Youth loves honor and victory more than money.
Aristotle
Men come together in cities in order to live: they remain together in order to live the good life
Aristotle
... a science must deal with a subject and its properties.
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
Speeches are like babies-easy to conceive but hard to deliver.
Aristotle
Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.
Aristotle
Whether we call it sacrifice, or poetry, or adventure, it is always the same voice that calls.
Aristotle
They who are to be judges must also be performers.
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
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
Aristotle
The avarice of mankind is insatiable.
Aristotle
