More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
The most beautiful colors laid on at random, give less pleasure than a black-and-white drawing.
Aristotle
Men must be able to engage in business and go to war, but leisure and peace are better they must do what is necessary and indeed what is useful, but what is honorable is better. On such principles children and persons of every age which requires education should be trained.
Aristotle

Therefore, even the lover of myth is a philosopher for myth is composed of wonder.
Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
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
So that the lover of myths, which are a compact of wonders, is by the same token a lover of wisdom.
Aristotle
A friend is a second self, so that our consciousness of a friend's existence...makes us more fully conscious of our own existence.
Aristotle
To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Aristotle
The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.
Aristotle
And it is characteristic of man that he alone has any sense of good and evil, of just and unjust, and the like, and the association of living beings who have this sense makes family and a state.
Aristotle
