More quotes by Aristotle
The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.
Aristotle
It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.
Aristotle
Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.
Aristotle
It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.
Aristotle

Aristotle
It is our actions and the soul's active exercise of its functions that we posit (as being Happiness).
Aristotle

Aristotle
Quid quid movetur ab alio movetur(nothing moves without having been moved).
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.
Aristotle
In practical matters the end is not mere speculative knowledge of what is to be done, but rather the doing of it. It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it, or to take any other steps that may make.
Aristotle
Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure.
Aristotle
The attainment of truth is then the function of both the intellectual parts of the soul. Therefore their respective virtues are those dispositions which will best qualify them to attain truth.
Aristotle
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Aristotle
He who can be, and therefore is, another's, and he who participates in reason enough to apprehend, but not to have, is a slave by nature.
Aristotle
PLOT is CHARACTER revealed by ACTION.
Aristotle
As to adultery, let it be held disgraceful, in general, for any man or woman to be found in any way unfaithful when they are married, and called husband and wife. If during the time of bearing children anything of the sort occur, let the guilty person be punished with a loss of privileges in proportion to the offense.
Aristotle
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect they are equal absolutely.
Aristotle
Men become builders by building and lyreplayers by playing the lyre so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
Aristotle
