More quotes by Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
Anything whose presence or absence makes no discernible difference is no essential part of the whole.
Aristotle
Governments which have a regard to the common interest are constituted in accordance with strict principles of justice, and are therefore true forms but those which regard only the interest of the rulers are all defective and perverted forms, for they are despotic, whereas a state is a community of freemen.
Aristotle
The democrats think that as they are equal they ought to be equal in all things.
Aristotle
Self-sufficiency is both a good and an absolute good.
Aristotle
Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
Aristotle
Our virtues are voluntary (and in fact we are in a sense ourselves partly the cause of our moral dispositions, and it is our having a certain character that makes us set up an end of a certain kind), it follows that our vices are voluntary also they are voluntary in the same manner as our virtues.
Aristotle
If you string together a set of speeches expressive of character, and well finished in point and diction and thought, you will not produce the essential tragic effect nearly so well as with a play which, however deficient in these respects, yet has a plot and artistically constructed incidents.
Aristotle
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
Let us first understand the facts and then we may seek the cause.
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
One thing alone not even God can do,To make undone whatever hath been done.
Aristotle
If things do not turn out as we wish, we should wish for them as they turn out.
Aristotle
Saying the words that come from knowledge is no sign of having it.
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
We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, isn't just an act, but a habit and life isn't just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition.
Aristotle
I was not alone when I was in Goofy hell
Aristotle
Patience is so like fortitude that she seems either her sister or her daughter.
Aristotle
All art is concerned with coming into being for it is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature.
Aristotle
Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile?
Aristotle
