Aristotle
A man who examines each subject from a philosophical standpoint cannot neglect them: he has to omit nothing, and state the truth about each topic.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
Pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible.

Aristotle
Metaphor is halfway between the unintelligible and the commonplace.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
Character is determined by choice, not opinion.
Aristotle

Aristotle
A friend of everyone is a friend of no one
Aristotle
The man who confers a favour would rather not be repaid in the same coin.
Aristotle
The life of theoretical philosophy is the best and happiest a man can lead. Few men are capable of it and then only intermittently. For the rest there is a second-best way of life, that of moral virtue and practical wisdom.
Aristotle
The aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought....The little human animal will not at first have the right responses. It must be trained to feel pleasure, liking, disgust, and hatred at those things which really are pleasant, likable, disgusting, and hateful.
Aristotle
