More quotes by Aristotle
He who sees things grow from the beginning will have the best view of them.
Aristotle
Every man should be responsible to others, nor should any one be allowed to do just as he pleases for where absolute freedom is allowed, there is nothing to restrain the evil which is inherent in every man.
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

Aristotle
It is true, indeed, that the account Plato gives in 'Timaeus' is different from what he says in his so-called 'unwritten teachings.'
Aristotle
Today you can start forming habits for overcoming all obstacles in life... even nicotine cravings
Aristotle
The character which results from wealth is that of a prosperous fool.
Aristotle
Wit is cultured insolence.
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
Some men are just as sure of the truth of their opinions as are others of what they know.
Aristotle
While fiction is often impossible, it should not be implausible.
Aristotle
It is not enough to win a war it is more important to organize the peace.
Aristotle
