More quotes by Aristotle
Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.
Aristotle
And this lies in the nature of things: What people are potentially is revealed in actuality by what they produce.
Aristotle
Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
Aristotle
No one will dare maintain that it is better to do injustice than to bear it.
Aristotle
If then nature makes nothing without some end in view, nothing to no purpose, it must be that nature has made all of them for the sake of man.
Aristotle
Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.
Aristotle
It is impossible, or not easy, to alter by argument what has long been absorbed by habit
Aristotle
No one finds fault with defects which are the result of nature.
Aristotle
Here and elsewhere we shall not obtain the best insight into things until we actually see them growing from the beginning.
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
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
All that one gains by falsehood is, not to be believed when he speaks the truth.
Aristotle
That body is heavier than another which, in an equal bulk, moves downward quicker.
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle
The beginning of reform is not so much to equalize property as to train the noble sort of natures not to desire more, and to prevent the lower from getting more.
Aristotle
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
All communication must lead to change
Aristotle
