Aristotle
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
Aristotle

Let us now similarly divide the rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we contemplate those things which admit of variation.
Aristotle

Aristotle

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
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
All proofs rest on premises.
Aristotle
That which is impossible and probable is better than that which is possible and improbable.
Aristotle
We cannot ... prove geometrical truths by arithmetic.
Aristotle
Nature does nothing in vain. Therefore, it is imperative for persons to act in accordance with their nature and develop their latent talents, in order to be content and complete.
Aristotle
All men agree that a just distribution must be according to merit in some sense they do not all specify the same sort of merit, but democrats identify it with freemen, supporters of oligarchy with wealth (or noble birth), and supporters of aristocracy with excellence.
Aristotle
