More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

Through discipline comes freedom.
Aristotle
If 'bounded by a surface' is the definition of body there cannot be an infinite body either intelligible or sensible.
Aristotle
As for the story, whether the poet takes it ready made or constructs it for himself, he should first sketch its general outline, and then fill in the episodes and amplify in detail.
Aristotle
The secret to humor is surprise.
Aristotle
People generally despise where they flatter.
Aristotle
Neither old people nor sour people seem to make friends easily for there is little that is pleasant in them.
Aristotle
One who faces and who fears the right things and from the right motive, in the right way and at the right time, posseses character worthy of our trust and admiration.
Aristotle
...virtue is not merely a state in conformity with the right principle, but one that implies the right principle and the right principle in moral conduct is prudence.
Aristotle
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Aristotle
