Image
Nowadays, for the sake of the advantage which is to be gained from the public revenues and from office, men want to be always in office.
Aristotle
Image
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Aristotle
Image
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.
Aristotle
Image
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
Image
Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.
Aristotle
Image
Friendship also seems to be the bond that hold communities together.
Aristotle
Image
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
Image
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
Image
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
Aristotle

The science that studies the supreme good for man is politics.
Aristotle
Image
The greatest victory is over self.
Aristotle
Image
Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.
Aristotle
Image
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle
Image
If something's bound to happen, it will happen.. Right time, right person, and for the best reason.
Aristotle
Image
The virtue as the art consecrates itself constantly to what's difficult to do, and the harder the task, the shinier the success.
Aristotle
Image
The blood of a goat will shatter a diamond.
Aristotle
Image
Concerning the generation of animals akin to them, as hornets and wasps, the facts in all cases are similar to a certain extent, but are devoid of the extraordinary features which characterize bees this we should expect, for they have nothing divine about them as the bees have.
Aristotle
Image
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
Image
One may go wrong in many different ways, but right only in one, which is why it is easy to fail and difficult to succeed.
Aristotle
