More quotes by Aristotle
Of means of persuading by speaking there are three species: some consist in the character of the speaker others in the disposing the hearer a certain way others in the thing itself which is said, by reason of its proving, or appearing to prove the point.
Aristotle
Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
Aristotle
While fiction is often impossible, it should not be implausible.
Aristotle
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
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
There is nothing unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.
Aristotle
Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
So the good has been well explained as that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
The life of theoretical philosophy is the best and happiest a man can lead. Few men are capable of it and then only intermittently. For the rest there is a second-best way of life, that of moral virtue and practical wisdom.
Aristotle
Moral qualities are so constituted as to be destroyed by excess and by deficiency . . .
Aristotle
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
Some believe it to be just friends wanting, as if to be healthy enough to wish health.
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
The soul is characterized by these capacities self-nutrition, sensation, thinking, and movement.
Aristotle
Patience s bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
Just as at the Olympic games it is not the handsomest or strongest men who are crowned with victory but the successful competitors, so in life it is those who act rightly who carry off all the prizes and rewards.
Aristotle
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
Teachers, who educate children, deserve more honour than parents, who merely gave them birth for the latter provided mere life, while the former ensure a good life.
Aristotle
Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.
Aristotle
By myth I mean the arrangement of the incidents
