More quotes by Aristotle
The best political community is formed by citizens of the middle class.
Aristotle
Of old, the demagogue was also a general, and then democracies changed into tyrannies. Most of the ancient tyrants were originally demagogues. They are not so now, but they were then and the reason is that they were generals and not orators, for oratory had not yet come into fashion.
Aristotle
Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
Aristotle
Time is the measurable unit of movement concerning a before and an after.
Aristotle
PLOT is CHARACTER revealed by ACTION.
Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
Aristotle
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
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
In all things which have a plurality of parts, and which are not a total aggregate but a whole of some sort distinct from the parts, there is some cause.
Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle
It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.
Aristotle
To be angry is easy. But to be angry with the right man at the right time and in the right manner, that is not easy.
Aristotle
Neglect of an effective birth control policy is a never-failing source of poverty which, in turn, is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
But the whole vital process of the earth takes place so gradually and in periods of time which are so immense compared with the length of our life, that these changes are not observed, and before their course can be recorded from beginning to end whole nations perish and are destroyed.
Aristotle
A friend of everyone is a friend of no one
Aristotle
Why do men seek honour? Surely in order to confirm the favorable opinion they have formed of themselves.
Aristotle
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument or follow a long chain of reasoning.
Aristotle
Therefore, even the lover of myth is a philosopher for myth is composed of wonder.
Aristotle
