More quotes by Aristotle
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect they are equal absolutely.
Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
Temperance and bravery, then, are ruined by excess and deficiency, but preserved by the mean.
Aristotle
The virtue of a faculty is related to the special function which that faculty performs. Now there are three elements in the soul which control action and the attainment of truth: namely, Sensation, Intellect, and Desire. Of these, Sensation never originates action, as is shown by the fact that animals have sensation but are not capable of action.
Aristotle
Happiness involves engagement in activities that promote one's highest potentials.
Aristotle
Because the rich are generally few in number, while the poor are many, they appear to be antagonistic, and as the one or the other prevails they form the government. Hence arises the common opinion that there are two kinds of government - democracy and oligarchy.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.
Aristotle
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
The basis of a democratic state is liberty
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle
Whereas the law is passionless, passion must ever sway the heart of man.
Aristotle
In a polity, each citizen is to possess his own arms, which are not supplied or owned by the state.
Aristotle
The most beautiful colors laid on at random, give less pleasure than a black-and-white drawing.
Aristotle
In educating the young we steer them by the rudders of pleasure and pain
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
It is not sufficient to know what one ought to say, but one must also know how to say it.
Aristotle
Nature makes nothing incomplete, and nothing in vain.
Aristotle
Man perfected by society is the best of all animals he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law and without justice. If he finds himself an individual who cannot live in society, or who pretends he has need of only his own resources do not consider him as a member of humanity he is a savage beast or a god.
Aristotle
