More quotes by Aristotle
The line between lawful and unlawful abortion will be marked by the fact of having sensation and being alive.
Aristotle
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
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
One may go wrong in many different ways, but right only in one, which is why it is easy to fail and difficult to succeed.
Aristotle
People do not naturally become morally excellent or practically wise. They become so, if at all, only as the result of lifelong personal and community effort.
Aristotle
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle
Character is made by many acts it may be lost by a single one.
Aristotle
A common danger unites even the bitterest enemies.
Aristotle
Art is identical with a state of capacity to make, involving a true course of reasoning.
Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
Friendship also seems to be the bond that hold communities together.
Aristotle
Happiness is self-connectedness.
Aristotle
Now, the causes being four, it is the business of the student of nature to know about them all, and if he refers his problems back to all of them, he will assign the why in the way proper to his science-the matter, the form, the mover, that for the sake of which.
Aristotle
A whole is that which has a beginning, a middle and an end.
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends behave to us
Aristotle
In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.
Aristotle
Those who cannot bravely face danger are the slaves of their attackers.
Aristotle
Perhaps here we have a clue to the reason why royal rule used to exist formerly, namely the difficulty of finding enough men of outstanding virtue.
Aristotle
It is easier to get one or a few of good sense, and of ability to legislate and adjudge, than to get many.
Aristotle
