More quotes by Aristotle
The society that loses its grip on the past is in danger, for it produces men who know nothing but the present, and who are not aware that life had been, and could be, different from what it is.
Aristotle
Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Concerning the generation of animals akin to them, as hornets and wasps, the facts in all cases are similar to a certain extent, but are devoid of the extraordinary features which characterize bees this we should expect, for they have nothing divine about them as the bees have.
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
In all well-attempered governments there is nothing which should be more jealously maintained than the spirit of obedience to law, more especially in small matters for transgression creeps in unperceived and at last ruins the state, just as the constant recurrence of small expenses in time eats up a fortune.
Aristotle
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.
Aristotle
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Aristotle
Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.
Aristotle
