More quotes by Aristotle
Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
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
Even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion. We may conclude then that the law is reason without passion, and it is therefore preferable to any individual.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Aristotle
While fiction is often impossible, it should not be implausible.
Aristotle
The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.
Aristotle
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
Without virtue it is difficult to bear gracefully the honors of fortune.
Aristotle
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.
Aristotle
All things are full of gods.
Aristotle
The soul suffers when the body is diseased or traumatized, while the body suffers when the soul is ailing.
Aristotle
We must not listen to those who advise us 'being men to think human thoughts, and being mortal to think mortal thoughts' but must put on immortality as much as possible and strain every nerve to live according to that best part of us, which, being small in bulk, yet much more in its power and honour surpasses all else.
Aristotle
A friend is a second self, so that our consciousness of a friend's existence...makes us more fully conscious of our own existence.
Aristotle
For good is simple, evil manifold.
Aristotle
The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward.
Aristotle
Of the tyrant, spies and informers are the principal instruments. War is his favorite occupation, for the sake of engrossing the attention of the people, and making himself necessary to them as their leader.
Aristotle
The light of the day is followed by night, as a shadow follows a body.
Aristotle
The ridiculous is produced by any defect that is unattended by pain, or fatal consequences thus, an ugly and deformed countenance does not fail to cause laughter, if it is not occasioned by pain.
Aristotle
My lectures are published and not published they will be intelligible to those who heard them, and to none beside.
Aristotle
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle
