More quotes by Aristotle
When the citizens at large administer the state for the common interest, the government is called by the generic name - a constitution.
Aristotle
[Meanness] is more ingrained in man's nature than Prodigality the mass of mankind are avaricious rather than open-handed.
Aristotle
He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
Even that some people try deceived me many times ... I will not fail to believe that somewhere, someone deserves my trust.
Aristotle
Opinion involves belief (for without belief in what we opine we cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often find imagination we never find belief.
Aristotle
Excellence is not an art. It is the habit of practice.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
They who are to be judges must also be performers.
Aristotle
A good man may make the best even of poverty and disease, and the other ills of life but he can only attain happiness under the opposite conditions
Aristotle
It is Homer who has chiefly taught other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.
Aristotle
Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.
Aristotle
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
Aristotle
Great is the good fortune of a state in which the citizens have a moderate and sufficient property.
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle
...The entire preoccupation of the physicist is with things that contain within themselves a principle of movement and rest.
Aristotle
Education and morals will be found almost the whole that goes to make a good man.
Aristotle
The soul has two parts, one rational and the other irrational. Let us now similarly divide the rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we contemplate those things which admit of variation.
Aristotle
Hippodamus, son of Euryphon, a native of Miletus, invented the art of planning and laid out the street plan of Piraeus.
Aristotle
Those that deem politics beneath their dignity are doomed to be governed by those of lesser talents.
Aristotle
