More quotes by Aristotle
Men come together in cities in order to live: they remain together in order to live the good life
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
...happiness is an activity and a complete utilization of virtue, not conditionally but absolutely.
Aristotle
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.

Aristotle

Aristotle
In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.

Aristotle
In everything, it is no easy task to find the middle.
Aristotle
Everybody loves a thing more if it has cost him trouble: for instance those who have made money love money more than those who have inherited it.
Aristotle
My lectures are published and not published they will be intelligible to those who heard them, and to none beside.
Aristotle
We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends behave to us
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
The intelligence consists not only in the knowledge but also in the skill to apply the knowledge into practice.
Aristotle
Education begins at the level of the learner.
Aristotle
