More quotes by Aristotle
. .we would have to say that hereditary succession is harmful. You may say the king, having sovereign power, will not in that case hand over to his children. But it is hard to believe that: it is a difficult achievement, which expects too much virtue of human nature.
Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
Your happiness depends on you alone.
Aristotle
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.
Aristotle
It is true, indeed, that the account Plato gives in 'Timaeus' is different from what he says in his so-called 'unwritten teachings.'
Aristotle
Fortune favours the bold.
Aristotle
The light of the day is followed by night, as a shadow follows a body.
Aristotle
Money originated with royalty and slavery, it has nothing to do with democracy or the struggle of the empoverished enslaved majority.
Aristotle
... a science must deal with a subject and its properties.
Aristotle
Every man should be responsible to others, nor should any one be allowed to do just as he pleases for where absolute freedom is allowed, there is nothing to restrain the evil which is inherent in every man.
Aristotle
He is his own best friend and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude.
Aristotle
Even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion. We may conclude then that the law is reason without passion, and it is therefore preferable to any individual.
Aristotle
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
Prudence as well as Moral Virtue determines the complete performance of a man's proper function: Virtue ensures the rightness of the end we aim at, Prudence ensures the rightness of the means we adopt to gain that end.
Aristotle
The real difference between democracy and oligarchy is poverty and wealth. Wherever men rule by reason of their wealth, whether they be few or many, that is an oligarchy, and where the poor rule, that is a democracy.
Aristotle
To be always seeking after the useful does not become free and exalted souls.
Aristotle
Perhaps here we have a clue to the reason why royal rule used to exist formerly, namely the difficulty of finding enough men of outstanding virtue.
Aristotle
The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both of the other classes.
Aristotle
Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
Aristotle
Patience is so like fortitude that she seems either her sister or her daughter.
Aristotle
