More quotes by Aristotle
It is impossible, or not easy, to alter by argument what has long been absorbed by habit
Aristotle
Happiness does not lie in amusement it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Equity is that idea of justice which contravenes the written law.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Law is order, and good law is good order.
Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.
Aristotle
It is the characteristic of the magnanimous man to ask no favor but to be ready to do kindness to others.
Aristotle
When Pleasure is at the bar the jury is not impartial.
Aristotle
He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.
Aristotle
It is also in the interests of a tyrant to make his subjects poo...the people are so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for plotting.
Aristotle
A democracy exists whenever those who are free and are not well-off, being in the majority, are in sovereign control of government, an oligarchy when control lies with the rich and better-born, these being few.
Aristotle
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle
