More quotes by Aristotle
A man who examines each subject from a philosophical standpoint cannot neglect them: he has to omit nothing, and state the truth about each topic.
Aristotle
Fortune favours the bold.
Aristotle
Madness is badness of spirit, when one seeks profit from all sources.
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
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle
We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
One who faces and who fears the right things and from the right motive, in the right way and at the right time, posseses character worthy of our trust and admiration.
Aristotle
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to expect that amount of exactness which the nature of the particular subject admits. It is equally unreasonable to accept merely probable conclusions from a mathematician and to demand strict demonstration from an orator.
Aristotle
For what is the best choice for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.
Aristotle
The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.
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
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.
Aristotle
A friend is a second self, so that our consciousness of a friend's existence...makes us more fully conscious of our own existence.
Aristotle
Worthless persons appointed to have supreme control of weighty affairs do a lot of damage.
Aristotle
Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.
Aristotle
