More quotes by Aristotle
For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle
The activity of happiness must occupy an entire lifetime for one swallow does not a summer make.
Aristotle
The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
Aristotle
We have no evidence as yet about mind or the power to think it seems to be a widely different kind of soul, differing as what is eternal from what is perishable it alone is capable of existence in isolation from all other psychic powers.
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
The body is at its best between the ages of thirty and thirty-five.
Aristotle
Happiness is the highest good
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
One has no friend who has many friends.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way.
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
It is better for a city to be governed by a good man than by good laws.
Aristotle
The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.
Aristotle
Our actions determine our dispositions.
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
The beginning, as the proverb says, is half the whole.
Aristotle
To Thales the primary question was not what do we know, but how do we know it.
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
.. 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 light of the day is followed by night, as a shadow follows a body.
Aristotle
