More quotes by Aristotle
Everyone honors the wise.
Aristotle
Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.
Aristotle
The best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and his destiny.
Aristotle
But it is not at all certain that this superiority of the many over the sound few is possible in the case of every people and every large number. There are some whom it would be impossible: otherwise the theory would apply to wild animals- and yet some men are hardly any better than wild animals.
Aristotle
To Thales the primary question was not what do we know, but how do we know it.
Aristotle
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
Our problem is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit.
Aristotle
Self-sufficiency is both a good and an absolute good.
Aristotle
Not to know of what things one should demand demonstration, and of what one should not, argues want of education.
Aristotle
No one praises happiness as one praises justice, but we call it a 'blessing,' deeming it something higher and more divine than things we praise.
Aristotle
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
Aristotle
Without virtue it is difficult to bear gracefully the honors of fortune.
Aristotle
Men become builders by building and lyreplayers by playing the lyre so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
Aristotle
No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things.
Aristotle
In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead.
Aristotle
Law is mind without reason.
Aristotle
Wit is cultured insolence.
Aristotle
Men must be able to engage in business and go to war, but leisure and peace are better they must do what is necessary and indeed what is useful, but what is honorable is better. On such principles children and persons of every age which requires education should be trained.
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.
Aristotle
