More quotes by Aristotle
...The entire preoccupation of the physicist is with things that contain within themselves a principle of movement and rest.
Aristotle
Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.
Aristotle
Everybody loves a thing more if it has cost him trouble: for instance those who have made money love money more than those who have inherited it.
Aristotle
Excellence or virtue in a man will be the disposition which renders him a good man and also which will cause him to perform his function well.
Aristotle
The many are more incorruptible than the few they are like the greater quantity of water which is less easily corrupted than a little.
Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
Aristotle
Laws, when good, should be supreme and that the magistrate or magistrates should regulate those matters only on which the laws are unable to speak with precision owing to the difficulty of any general principle embracing all particulars.
Aristotle
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Aristotle
One can aim at honor both as one ought, and more than one ought, and less than one ought. He whose craving for honor is excessive is said to be ambitious, and he who is deficient in this respect unambitious while he who observes the mean has no peculiar name.
Aristotle
No one will dare maintain that it is better to do injustice than to bear it.
Aristotle
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
Aristotle
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect they are equal absolutely.
Aristotle
Nature of man is not what he was born as, but what he is born for.
Aristotle
Nature herself, as has been often said, requires that we should be able, not only to work well, but to use leisure well for, as I must repeat once again, the first principle of all action is leisure. Both are required, but leisure is better than occupation and is its end.
Aristotle
A common danger unites even the bitterest enemies.
Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.
Aristotle
