Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way.
Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
Aristotle
If the art of ship-building were in the wood, ships would exist by nature.
Aristotle
