Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle
