More quotes by Aristotle
I was not alone when I was in Goofy hell
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
Also, that which is desirable in itself is more desirable than what is desirable per accidens.
Aristotle
The ridiculous is produced by any defect that is unattended by pain, or fatal consequences thus, an ugly and deformed countenance does not fail to cause laughter, if it is not occasioned by pain.
Aristotle
A common danger unites even the bitterest enemies.
Aristotle
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Aristotle
To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Aristotle
The greater the length, the more beautiful will the piece be by reason of its size, provided that the whole be perspicuous.
Aristotle
The beginning of reform is not so much to equalize property as to train the noble sort of natures not to desire more, and to prevent the lower from getting more.
Aristotle
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
Aristotle
A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.
Aristotle
