Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
The form of government is a democracy when the free, who are also poor and the majority, govern, and an oligarchy when the rich and the noble govern, they being at the same time few in number.

Aristotle
But since there is but one aim for the entire state, it follows that education must be one and the same for all, and that the responsibility for it must be a public one, not the private affair which it now is, each man looking after his own children and teaching them privately whatever private curriculum he thinks they ought to study.
Aristotle
Between friends there is no need for justice, but people who are just still need the quality of friendship and indeed friendliness is considered to be justice in the fullest sense.
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things.
Aristotle
Laws, when good, should be supreme and that the magistrate or magistrates should regulate those matters only on which the laws are unable to speak with precision owing to the difficulty of any general principle embracing all particulars.
Aristotle
To die, and thus avoid poverty or love, or anything painful, is not the part of a brave man, but rather of a coward for it is cowardice to avoid trouble, and the suicide does not undergo death because it is honorable, but in order to avoid evil.
Aristotle
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
If men are given food, but no chastisement nor any work, they become insolent.
Aristotle
The man who is truly good and wise will bear with dignity whatever fortune sends, and will always make the best of his circumstances.
Aristotle
The secret to humor is surprise.
Aristotle
