More quotes by Aristotle
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
Aristotle
Men come together in cities in order to live: they remain together in order to live the good life
Aristotle
In justice is all virtues found in sum.
Aristotle

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

Aristotle

Aristotle
A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange. Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not mere companionship.
Aristotle
A body in motion can maintain this motion only if it remains in contact with a mover.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Men create the gods after their own images.
Aristotle
