More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
The body is at its best between the ages of thirty and thirty-five.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
A whole is that which has a beginning, a middle and an end.
Aristotle
Whereas the law is passionless, passion must ever sway the heart of man.
Aristotle
If you see a man approaching with the obvious intent of doing you good, run for your life. Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
Aristotle
One may go wrong in many different ways, but right only in one, which is why it is easy to fail and difficult to succeed.
Aristotle
Wit is well-bred insolence.
Aristotle
Pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible.
Aristotle
Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.
Aristotle
