We are what we continually do.

We are the sum of our actions, and therefore our habits make all the difference.
Aristotle
A good style must, first of all, be clear. It must not be mean or above the dignity of the subject. It must be appropriate.
Aristotle

Aristotle
All art is concerned with coming into being for it is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature.
Aristotle
Let us first understand the facts and then we may seek the cause.
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
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
It has been handed down in mythical form from earliest times to posterity, that there are gods, and that the divine (Deity) compasses all nature. All beside this has been added, after the mythical style, for the purpose of persuading the multitude, and for the interests of the laws, and the advantage of the state.
Aristotle
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Aristotle
Nature herself, as has been often said, requires that we should be able, not only to work well, but to use leisure well for, as I must repeat once again, the first principle of all action is leisure. Both are required, but leisure is better than occupation and is its end.
Aristotle
The so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles of mathematics were the principles of all things.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
When couples have children in excess, let abortion be procured before sense and life have begun what may or may not be lawfully done in these cases depends on the question of life and sensation.
Aristotle
It will contribute towards one's object, who wishes to acquire a facility in the gaining of knowledge, to doubt judiciously.
Aristotle
And inasmuch as the great-souled man deserves most, he must be the best of men for the better a man is the more he deserves, and he that is best deserves most. Therefore the truly great-souled man must be a good man. Indeed greatness in each of the virtues would seem to go with greatness of soul.
Aristotle
