More quotes by Aristotle
To know what virtue is is not enough we must endeavor to possess and to practice it, or in some other manner actually ourselves to become good.
Aristotle
All communication must lead to change
Aristotle
The ridiculous is produced by any defect that is unattended by pain, or fatal consequences thus, an ugly and deformed countenance does not fail to cause laughter, if it is not occasioned by pain.
Aristotle
In the human species at all events there is a great diversity of pleasures. The same things delight some men and annoy others, and things painful and disgusting to some are pleasant and attractive to others.
Aristotle
What is the essence of life? To serve others and to do good.
Aristotle
Quite often good things have hurtful consequences. There are instances of men who have been ruined by their money or killed by their courage.
Aristotle
All human happiness and misery take the form of action.
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
If every tool, when ordered, or even of its own accord, could do the work that befits it... then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master workers or of slaves for the lords.
Aristotle
Boundaries don't protect rivers, people do.
Aristotle
And so long as they were at war, their power was preserved, but when they had attained empire they fell, for of the arts of peace they knew nothing, and had never engaged in any employment higher than war.
Aristotle
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
... There must then be a principle of such a kind that its substance is activity.
Aristotle
It is easier to get one or a few of good sense, and of ability to legislate and adjudge, than to get many.
Aristotle
A courageous person is one who faces fearful things as he ought and as reason directs for the sake of what is noble.
Aristotle
It is no part of a physician's business to use either persuasion or compulsion upon the patients.
Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.
Aristotle
