More quotes by Aristotle
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the first move-and he, in turn, waits for you.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we can have what we want in the future
Aristotle
. . . Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship.
Aristotle
The greatest victory is over self.
Aristotle
Happiness is prosperity combined with virtue.
Aristotle
If, therefore, there is any one superior in virtue and in the power of performing the best actions, him we ought to follow and obey, but he must have the capacity for action as well as virtue.
Aristotle
No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
Aristotle
Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.
Aristotle
Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
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
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
All flatterers are mercenary, and all low-minded men are flatterers.
Aristotle
Patience is so like fortitude that she seems either her sister or her daughter.
Aristotle
The high-minded man is fond of conferring benefits, but it shames him to receive them.
Aristotle
In part, art completes what nature cannot elaborate and in part it imitates nature.
Aristotle
Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.
Aristotle
The democrats think that as they are equal they ought to be equal in all things.
Aristotle
A government which is composed of the middle class more nearly approximates to democracy than to oligarchy, and is the safest of the imperfect forms of government.
Aristotle
