More quotes by Aristotle
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Aristotle
for we are inquiring not in order to know what virtue is, but in order to become good, since otherwise our inquiry would have been of no use
Aristotle
Opinion involves belief (for without belief in what we opine we cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often find imagination we never find belief.
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
A proper wife should be as obedient as a slave... The female is a female by virtue of a certain lack of qualities - a natural defectiveness.
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
It is Homer who has chiefly taught other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.
Aristotle
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
We make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
Happiness is a state of activity.
Aristotle
Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure.
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.
Aristotle
Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
Aristotle
The secret to humor is surprise.
Aristotle
Metaphor is halfway between the unintelligible and the commonplace.
Aristotle
Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency.
Aristotle
One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.
Aristotle
