More quotes by Aristotle
Youth loves honor and victory more than money.
Aristotle
When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so.
Aristotle
Beauty is the gift of God
Aristotle
... the good for man is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue, or if there are more kinds of virtue than one, in accordance with the best and most perfect kind.
Aristotle
The activity of God, which is transcendent in blessedness, is the activity of contemplation and therefore among human activities that which is most akin to the divine activity of contemplation will be the greatest source of happiness.
Aristotle
For even they who compose treatises of medicine or natural philosophy in verse are denominated Poets: yet Homer and Empedocles have nothing in common except their metre the former, therefore, justly merits the name of the Poet while the other should rather be called a Physiologist than a Poet.
Aristotle
The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.
Aristotle
People never know each other until they have eaten a certain amount of salt together.
Aristotle
No one finds fault with defects which are the result of nature.
Aristotle
A period may be defined as a portion of speech that has in itself a beginning and an end, being at the same time not too big to be taken in at a glance
Aristotle

Aristotle
The proof that you know something is that you are able to teach it
Aristotle
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
Aristotle
Character is made by many acts it may be lost by a single one.
Aristotle
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways . . . while to succeed is possible only in one way (for which reason also one is easy and the other difficult - to miss the mark easy, to hit it difficult).
Aristotle
Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
Anybody can get hit over the head.
Aristotle
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
