More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
Those who cannot bravely face danger are the slaves of their attackers.

Aristotle
People do not naturally become morally excellent or practically wise. They become so, if at all, only as the result of lifelong personal and community effort.
Aristotle
The business of every art is to bring something into existence, and the practice of an art involves the study of how to bring into existence something which is capable of having such an existence and has its efficient cause in the maker and not in itself.
Aristotle
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
It is no part of a physician's business to use either persuasion or compulsion upon the patients.
Aristotle
The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.
Aristotle
When...we, as individuals, obey laws that direct us to behave for the welfare of the community as a whole, we are indirectly helping to promote the pursuit of happiness by our fellow human beings.
Aristotle
