More quotes by Aristotle
Friendship is communion.
Aristotle
The shape of the heaven is of necessity spherical for that is the shape most appropriate to its substance and also by nature primary.
Aristotle
Liars when they speak the truth are not believed.
Aristotle
A democracy exists whenever those who are free and are not well-off, being in the majority, are in sovereign control of government, an oligarchy when control lies with the rich and better-born, these being few.
Aristotle
Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.
Aristotle
When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.
Aristotle
A friend to all is a friend to none.
Aristotle
Should a man live underground, and there converse with the works of art and mechanism, and should afterwards be brought up into the open day, and see the several glories of the heaven and earth, he would immediately pronounce them the work of such a Being as we define God to be.
Aristotle
Justice is Equality...but equality of what?
Aristotle
Where some people are very wealthy and others have nothing, the result will be either extreme democracy or absolute oligarchy, or despotism will come from either of those excesses.
Aristotle
The body is at its best between the ages of thirty and thirty-five.
Aristotle
Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.
Aristotle
We, on the other hand, must take for granted that the things that exist by nature are, either all or some of them, in motion.
Aristotle
It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.
Aristotle
Nature herself, as has been often said, requires that we should be able, not only to work well, but to use leisure well for, as I must repeat once again, the first principle of all action is leisure. Both are required, but leisure is better than occupation and is its end.
Aristotle
A true disciple shows his appreciation by reaching further than his teacher.
Aristotle
We ought, so far as it lies within our power, to aspire to immortality, and do all that we can to live in conformity with the highest that is within us for even if it is small in quantity, in power and preciousness, it far excels all the rest.
Aristotle
Purpose ... is held to be most closely connected with virtue, and to be a better token of our character than are even our acts.
Aristotle
For just as for a flute-player, a sculptor, or an artist, and, in general, for all things that have a function or activity, the good and the well is thought to reside in the function, so would it seem to be for man, if he has a function.
Aristotle
Hence both women and children must be educated with an eye to the constitution, if indeed it makes any difference to the virtue of a city-state that its children be virtuous, and its women too. And it must make a difference, since half the free population are women, and from children come those who participate in the constitution.
Aristotle
