Aristotle
For well-being and health, again, the homestead should be airy in summer, and sunny in winter. A homestead possessing these qualities would be longer than it is deep and its main front would face the south.
Aristotle
Those that deem politics beneath their dignity are doomed to be governed by those of lesser talents.
Aristotle
It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want.
Aristotle
Not to get what you have set your heart on is almost as bad as getting nothing at all.
Aristotle
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.
Aristotle
Why do men seek honour? Surely in order to confirm the favorable opinion they have formed of themselves.
Aristotle
The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement - in fact, of nervous functions in general, - are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance.
Aristotle
