More quotes by 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
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
The many are more incorruptible than the few they are like the greater quantity of water which is less easily corrupted than a little.
Aristotle
While fiction is often impossible, it should not be implausible.
Aristotle
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
Aristotle
Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.

. .we would have to say that hereditary succession is harmful. You may say the king, having sovereign power, will not in that case hand over to his children. But it is hard to believe that: it is a difficult achievement, which expects too much virtue of human nature.

And it is characteristic of man that he alone has any sense of good and evil, of just and unjust, and the like, and the association of living beings who have this sense makes family and a state.
Aristotle
Art is identical with a state of capacity to make, involving a true course of reasoning.
Aristotle
The probable is what usually happens.
Aristotle
The aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought....The little human animal will not at first have the right responses. It must be trained to feel pleasure, liking, disgust, and hatred at those things which really are pleasant, likable, disgusting, and hateful.
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
For often, when one is asleep, there is something in consciousness which declares that what then presents itself is but a dream.
Aristotle
Phronimos, possessing practical wisdom . But the only virtue special to a ruler is practical wisdom all the others must be possessed, so it seems, both by rulers and ruled. The virtue of a person being ruled is not practical wisdom but correct opinion he is rather like a person who makes the pipes, while the ruler is the one who can play them.
Aristotle
In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.
Aristotle
The beginning of reform is not so much to equalize property as to train the noble sort of natures not to desire more, and to prevent the lower from getting more.
Aristotle
We, on the other hand, must take for granted that the things that exist by nature are, either all or some of them, in motion.
Aristotle
