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.

More quotes by Aristotle
The high-minded man is fond of conferring benefits, but it shames him to receive them.
Aristotle
The good lawgiver should inquire how states and races of men and communities may participate in a good life, and in the happiness which is attainable by them.
Aristotle
The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.
Aristotle
Whether we will philosophize or we won't philosophize, we must philosophize.
Aristotle
[Prudence] is the virtue of that part of the intellect [the calculative] to which it belongs and . . . our choice of actions will not be right without Prudence any more than without Moral Virtue, since, while Moral Virtue enables us to achieve the end, Prudence makes us adopt the right means to the end.
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
The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to expect that amount of exactness which the nature of the particular subject admits. It is equally unreasonable to accept merely probable conclusions from a mathematician and to demand strict demonstration from an orator.
Aristotle
For contemplation is both the highest form of activity (since the intellect is the highest thing in us, and the objects that it apprehends are the highest things that can be known), and also it is the most continuous, because we are more capable of continuous contemplation than we are of any practical activity.
Aristotle
For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize... They were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.
Aristotle
The soul is characterized by these capacities self-nutrition, sensation, thinking, and movement.
Aristotle
I seek to bring forth what you almost already know.
Aristotle
Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
Aristotle
It is clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are seeking, we must consider the following point: of what kind of principles and of what kind of causes is wisdom the knowledge?
Aristotle
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
Aristotle
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
God has many names, though He is only one Being.
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
Youth loves honor and victory more than money.
Aristotle
