Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all.

Aristotle

Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
No one will dare maintain that it is better to do injustice than to bear it.
Aristotle
Happiness does not consist in amusement. In fact, it would be strange if our end were amusement, and if we were to labor and suffer hardships all our life long merely to amuse ourselves.... The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.
Aristotle
It is through wonder that men now begin and originally began to philosophize wondering in the first place at obvious perplexities, and then by gradual progression raising questions about the greater matters too.
Aristotle
Now it is evident that the form of government is best in which every man, whoever he is, can act best and live happily.
Aristotle
The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.
Aristotle
Those who cannot bravely face danger are the slaves of their attackers.
Aristotle
Now all orators effect their demonstrative proofs by allegation either of enthymems or examples, and, besides these, in no other way whatever.
Aristotle
