More quotes by Aristotle
It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
It is clear that those constitutions which aim at the common good are right, as being in accord with absolute justice while those which aim only at the good of the rulers are wrong.
Aristotle
Property should be in a certain sense common, but, as a general rule, private for, when every one has a distinct interest, men will not complain of one another, and they will make more progress, because every one will be attending to his own business.
Aristotle
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
Aristotle
Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.
Aristotle
For contemplation is both the highest form of activity (since the intellect is the highest thing in us, and the objects that it apprehends are the highest things that can be known), and also it is the most continuous, because we are more capable of continuous contemplation than we are of any practical activity.
Aristotle
No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things.
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle
A speaker who is attempting to move people to thought or action must concern himself with Pathos.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
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
Happiness depends on ourselves.
Aristotle
Between friends there is no need for justice, but people who are just still need the quality of friendship and indeed friendliness is considered to be justice in the fullest sense.
Aristotle
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle
For well-being and health, again, the homestead should be airy in summer, and sunny in winter. A homestead possessing these qualities would be longer than it is deep and its main front would face the south.
Aristotle
Even that some people try deceived me many times ... I will not fail to believe that somewhere, someone deserves my trust.
Aristotle
Boundaries don't protect rivers, people do.
Aristotle
