More quotes by Aristotle
Neither old people nor sour people seem to make friends easily for there is little that is pleasant in them.
Aristotle
A whole is that which has a beginning, a middle and an end.
Aristotle
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. As in other sciences, so in politics, it is impossible that all things should be precisely set down in writing for enactments must be universal, but actions are concerned with particulars. Hence we infer that sometimes and in certain cases laws may be changed.
Aristotle
Those that deem politics beneath their dignity are doomed to be governed by those of lesser talents.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
Aristotle
That which is excellent endures.
Aristotle
Some vices miss what is right because they are deficient, others because they are excessive, in feelings or in actions, while virtue finds and chooses the mean.
Aristotle
It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
There is always something new coming out of Africa.
Aristotle
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Aristotle
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle
People generally despise where they flatter.
Aristotle
In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion second, the language third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
Fortune favours the bold.
Aristotle
