More quotes by Aristotle
Everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature as good as it can be, and similarly everything that depends on art or any rational cause, and especially if it depends on the best of all causes.
Aristotle
Happiness involves engagement in activities that promote one's highest potentials.
Aristotle
It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.
Aristotle
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
A thing chosen always as an end and never as a means we call absolutely final. Now happiness above all else appears to be absolutely final in this sense, since we always choose it for its own sake and never as a means to something else.
Aristotle
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
To the size of the state there is a limit, as there is to plants, animals and implements, for none of these retain their facility when they are too large.
Aristotle
No state will be well administered unless the middle class holds sway.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
Aristotle
Youth loves honor and victory more than money.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
It was through the feeling of wonder that men now and at first began to philosophize.
Aristotle
Now that practical skills have developed enough to provide adequately for material needs, one of these sciences which are not devoted to utilitarian ends [mathematics] has been able to arise in Egypt, the priestly caste there having the leisure necessary for disinterested research.
Aristotle
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
Aristotle
One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.
Aristotle
. . . Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship.
Aristotle
1 is not prime, by definition. 2 is an unnatural prime, 4 is an unnatural prime, and 6 is an unnatural prime. All other natural primes cannot be unnatural primes.
Aristotle
