More quotes by Aristotle
Aristocracy is that form of government in which education and discipline are qualifications for suffrage and office holding.
Aristotle
The brave man, if he be compared with the coward, seems foolhardy and, if with the foolhardy man, seems a coward.
Aristotle
We work to earn our leisure.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.
Aristotle
Property should be in a certain sense common, but, as a general rule, private for, when every one has a distinct interest, men will not complain of one another, and they will make more progress, because every one will be attending to his own business.
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
To be always seeking after the useful does not become free and exalted souls.
Aristotle
Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.
Aristotle
But also philosophy is not about perceptible substances they, you see, are prone to destruction.
Aristotle
Wit is well-bred insolence.
Aristotle
The first principle of all action is leisure.
Aristotle
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, isn't just an act, but a habit and life isn't just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition.
Aristotle
All men agree that a just distribution must be according to merit in some sense they do not all specify the same sort of merit, but democrats identify it with freemen, supporters of oligarchy with wealth (or noble birth), and supporters of aristocracy with excellence.
Aristotle
Every virtue is a mean between two extremes, each of which is a vice.
Aristotle
The continuum is that which is divisible into indivisibles that are infinitely divisible.
Aristotle
Poetry demands a man with a special gift for it, or else one with a touch of madness in him.
Aristotle
Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.
Aristotle
Those whose days are consumed in the low pursuits of avarice, or the gaudy frivolties of fashion, unobservant of nature's lovelinessof demarcation, nor on which side thereof an intermediate form should lie.
Aristotle
