More quotes by Aristotle
It is a part of probability that many improbable things will happen.
Aristotle
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Aristotle
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Aristotle
So the good has been well explained as that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
Philosophy can make people sick.
Aristotle
Men create the gods after their own images.
Aristotle
The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
Aristotle
To the size of the state there is a limit, as there is to plants, animals and implements, for none of these retain their facility when they are too large.
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
No one praises happiness as one praises justice, but we call it a 'blessing,' deeming it something higher and more divine than things we praise.
Aristotle
In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead.
Aristotle
The best political community is formed by citizens of the middle class.
Aristotle
Love well, be loved and do something of value.
Aristotle
The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle
Today you can start forming habits for overcoming all obstacles in life... even nicotine cravings
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
It is not easy for a person to do any great harm when his tenure of office is short, whereas long possession begets tyranny.
Aristotle
A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself . . . with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.
Aristotle
A common danger unites even the bitterest enemies.
Aristotle
