More quotes by Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, isn't just an act, but a habit and life isn't just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition.
Aristotle
Peace is more difficult than war.
Aristotle
Life cannot be lived, and understood, simultaneously.
Aristotle
Because the rich are generally few in number, while the poor are many, they appear to be antagonistic, and as the one or the other prevails they form the government. Hence arises the common opinion that there are two kinds of government - democracy and oligarchy.
Aristotle
But is it just then that the few and the wealthy should be the rulers? And what if they, in like manner, rob and plunder the people, - is this just?
Aristotle
The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.
Aristotle
Justice is Equality...but equality of what?
Aristotle
The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement - in fact, of nervous functions in general, - are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance.
Aristotle
Man by Nature desires to know.
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
People do not naturally become morally excellent or practically wise. They become so, if at all, only as the result of lifelong personal and community effort.
Aristotle
For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize... They were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.
Aristotle
When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficing, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
Aristotle
A friend is simply one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.
Aristotle
One kind of justice is that which is manifested in distributions of honour or money or the other things that fall to be divided among those who have a share in the constitution ... and another kind is that which plays a rectifying part in transactions.
Aristotle
Anything whose presence or absence makes no discernible difference is no essential part of the whole.
Aristotle
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Aristotle
Authority is no source for Truth.
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
