More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
Why do men seek honour? Surely in order to confirm the favorable opinion they have formed of themselves.
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.
Aristotle
Everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature as good as it can be, and similarly everything that depends on art or any rational cause, and especially if it depends on the best of all causes.
Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle

Aristotle
We are what we continually do.

No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
Aristotle
In the human species at all events there is a great diversity of pleasures. The same things delight some men and annoy others, and things painful and disgusting to some are pleasant and attractive to others.
Aristotle
We make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
Every virtue is a mean between two extremes, each of which is a vice.
Aristotle
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Aristotle
To die, and thus avoid poverty or love, or anything painful, is not the part of a brave man, but rather of a coward for it is cowardice to avoid trouble, and the suicide does not undergo death because it is honorable, but in order to avoid evil.
Aristotle
In all well-attempered governments there is nothing which should be more jealously maintained than the spirit of obedience to law, more especially in small matters for transgression creeps in unperceived and at last ruins the state, just as the constant recurrence of small expenses in time eats up a fortune.
Aristotle
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Aristotle
