More quotes by Aristotle
The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle
It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.
Aristotle
If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much. But indeed there is always a difficulty in men living together and having all human relations in common, but especially in their having common property.
Aristotle
Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.
Aristotle
... the good for man is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue, or if there are more kinds of virtue than one, in accordance with the best and most perfect kind.
Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
Aristotle
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
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
The good lawgiver should inquire how states and races of men and communities may participate in a good life, and in the happiness which is attainable by them.
Aristotle
Education and morals will be found almost the whole that goes to make a good man.
Aristotle
The first principle of all action is leisure.
Aristotle
The vigorous are no better than the lazy during one half of life, for all men are alike when asleep.
Aristotle
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.
Aristotle
Equality consists in the same treatment of similar persons.
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
The virtue as the art consecrates itself constantly to what's difficult to do, and the harder the task, the shinier the success.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Aristotle
The unfortunate need people who will be kind to them the prosperous need people to be kind to.
Aristotle
