More quotes by Aristotle
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
Beauty is a gift of God.
Aristotle
Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.
Aristotle
Now that practical skills have developed enough to provide adequately for material needs, one of these sciences which are not devoted to utilitarian ends [mathematics] has been able to arise in Egypt, the priestly caste there having the leisure necessary for disinterested research.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Happiness is a certain activity of soul in conformity with perfect goodness
Aristotle
That which is excellent endures.
Aristotle
Emotions of any kind are produced by melody and rhythm therefore by music a man becomes accustomed to feeling the right emotions music has thus the power to form character, and the various kinds of music based on various modes may be distinguished by their effects on character.
Aristotle
Imagination is a sort of faint perception.
Aristotle
Great is the good fortune of a state in which the citizens have a moderate and sufficient property.
Aristotle
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
So the good has been well explained as that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
There are three qualifications required in those who have to fill the highest offices, - (1) first of all, loyalty to the established constitution (2) the greatest administrative capacity (3) virtue and justice of the kind proper to each form of government.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
[Prudence] is the virtue of that part of the intellect [the calculative] to which it belongs and . . . our choice of actions will not be right without Prudence any more than without Moral Virtue, since, while Moral Virtue enables us to achieve the end, Prudence makes us adopt the right means to the end.
Aristotle
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
Aristotle
Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.
Aristotle
To leave the number of births unrestricted, as is done in most states, inevitably causes poverty among the citizens, and poverty produces crime and faction.
Aristotle
