More quotes by Aristotle
It is no easy task to be good.
Aristotle
Today you can start forming habits for overcoming all obstacles in life... even nicotine cravings
Aristotle
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
If then nature makes nothing without some end in view, nothing to no purpose, it must be that nature has made all of them for the sake of man.
Aristotle
The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.
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
Man perfected by society is the best of all animals he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law and without justice. If he finds himself an individual who cannot live in society, or who pretends he has need of only his own resources do not consider him as a member of humanity he is a savage beast or a god.
Aristotle
For contemplation is both the highest form of activity (since the intellect is the highest thing in us, and the objects that it apprehends are the highest things that can be known), and also it is the most continuous, because we are more capable of continuous contemplation than we are of any practical activity.
Aristotle
Here and elsewhere we shall not obtain the best insight into things until we actually see them growing from the beginning.
Aristotle
Happiness depends on ourselves.
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
It is impossible, or not easy, to alter by argument what has long been absorbed by habit
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
When the storytelling goes bad in a society, the result is decadence.
Aristotle
Some believe it to be just friends wanting, as if to be healthy enough to wish health.
Aristotle
I seek to bring forth what you almost already know.
Aristotle
The body is at its best between the ages of thirty and thirty-five.
Aristotle
There is nothing unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.
Aristotle
Man first begins to philosophize when the necessities of life are supplied.
Aristotle
...in this way the structure of the universe- I mean, of the heavens and the earth and the whole world- was arranged by one harmony through the blending of the most opposite principles.
Aristotle
