More quotes by Aristotle
The true end of tragedy is to purify the passions.
Aristotle
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.
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
There are, then, three states of mind ... two vices--that of excess, and that of defect and one virtue--the mean and all these are in a certain sense opposed to one another for the extremes are not only opposed to the mean, but also to one another and the mean is opposed to the extremes.
Aristotle
Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.
Aristotle
Men cling to life even at the cost of enduring great misfortune.
Aristotle
Education begins at the level of the learner.
Aristotle
For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize... They were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.
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
It makes no difference whether a good man has defrauded a bad man, or a bad man defrauded a good man, or whether a good or bad man has committed adultery: the law can look only to the amount of damage done.
Aristotle
Nowadays, for the sake of the advantage which is to be gained from the public revenues and from office, men want to be always in office.
Aristotle
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. As in other sciences, so in politics, it is impossible that all things should be precisely set down in writing for enactments must be universal, but actions are concerned with particulars. Hence we infer that sometimes and in certain cases laws may be changed.
Aristotle
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Aristotle
Wit is well-bred insolence.
Aristotle
The appropriate age for marrige is around eighteen and thirty-seven for man
Aristotle
The aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought....The little human animal will not at first have the right responses. It must be trained to feel pleasure, liking, disgust, and hatred at those things which really are pleasant, likable, disgusting, and hateful.
Aristotle
Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.
Aristotle
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Aristotle
The best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and his destiny.
Aristotle
