Aristotle

As to adultery, let it be held disgraceful, in general, for any man or woman to be found in any way unfaithful when they are married, and called husband and wife. If during the time of bearing children anything of the sort occur, let the guilty person be punished with a loss of privileges in proportion to the offense.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Because the rich are generally few in number, while the poor are many, they appear to be antagonistic, and as the one or the other prevails they form the government. Hence arises the common opinion that there are two kinds of government - democracy and oligarchy.
Aristotle
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
Aristotle
Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
He who can be, and therefore is, another's, and he who participates in reason enough to apprehend, but not to have, is a slave by nature.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Aristotle
Character is revealed through action.
Aristotle
The continuum is that which is divisible into indivisibles that are infinitely divisible.
Aristotle
It is not sufficient to know what one ought to say, but one must also know how to say it.
Aristotle
