Aristotle
The unfortunate need people who will be kind to them the prosperous need people to be kind to.
Aristotle
Now, the causes being four, it is the business of the student of nature to know about them all, and if he refers his problems back to all of them, he will assign the why in the way proper to his science-the matter, the form, the mover, that for the sake of which.
Aristotle
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect they are equal absolutely.
Aristotle

Aristotle
In all well-attempered governments there is nothing which should be more jealously maintained than the spirit of obedience to law, more especially in small matters for transgression creeps in unperceived and at last ruins the state, just as the constant recurrence of small expenses in time eats up a fortune.
Aristotle
One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.
Aristotle
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
Aristotle
Through discipline comes freedom.
Aristotle
It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.
Aristotle
Worthless persons appointed to have supreme control of weighty affairs do a lot of damage.
Aristotle
Some men are just as sure of the truth of their opinions as are others of what they know.
Aristotle
The good man is he for whom, because he is virtuous, the things that are absolutely good are good it is also plain that his use of these goods must be virtuous and in the absolute sense good.
Aristotle
Opinion involves belief (for without belief in what we opine we cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often find imagination we never find belief.
Aristotle
Anybody can get hit over the head.
Aristotle
It is better for a city to be governed by a good man than by good laws.
Aristotle
