More quotes by Aristotle
The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument or follow a long chain of reasoning.
Aristotle
It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
The so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles of mathematics were the principles of all things.
Aristotle
Between friends there is no need for justice, but people who are just still need the quality of friendship and indeed friendliness is considered to be justice in the fullest sense.
Aristotle
The body is most fully developed from thirty to thirty-five years of age, the mind at about forty-nine.
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
Aristotle
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
We are what we continually do.
Aristotle
People become house builders through building houses, harp players through playing the harp. We grow to be just by doing things which are just.
Aristotle
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
Aristotle
Education and morals will be found almost the whole that goes to make a good man.
Aristotle
Those that deem politics beneath their dignity are doomed to be governed by those of lesser talents.
Aristotle
Irrational passions would seem to be as much a part of human nature as is reason.
Aristotle
One thing alone not even God can do,To make undone whatever hath been done.
Aristotle
Men come together in cities in order to live: they remain together in order to live the good life
Aristotle
When the storytelling goes bad in a society, the result is decadence.
Aristotle
Moral virtue is ... a mean between two vices, that of excess and that of defect, and ... it is no small task to hit the mean in each case, as it is not, for example, any chance comer, but only the geometer, who can find the center of a given circle.
Aristotle
It is a part of probability that many improbable things will happen.
Aristotle
People never know each other until they have eaten a certain amount of salt together.
Aristotle
