More quotes by Aristotle
In a polity, each citizen is to possess his own arms, which are not supplied or owned by the state.
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
The proof that you know something is that you are able to teach it
Aristotle
Aristocracy is that form of government in which education and discipline are qualifications for suffrage and office holding.
Aristotle
The guest will judge better of a feast than the cook
Aristotle
Between friends there is no need for justice, but people who are just still need the quality of friendship and indeed friendliness is considered to be justice in the fullest sense.
Aristotle
The virtue as the art consecrates itself constantly to what's difficult to do, and the harder the task, the shinier the success.
Aristotle
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
Nature does nothing in vain. Therefore, it is imperative for persons to act in accordance with their nature and develop their latent talents, in order to be content and complete.
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
There is always something new coming out of Africa.
Aristotle
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
Aristotle
The pleasures arising from thinking and learning will make us think and learn all the more. 1153a 23
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 clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are seeking, we must consider the following point: of what kind of principles and of what kind of causes is wisdom the knowledge?
Aristotle
Beauty is the gift of God
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, isn't just an act, but a habit and life isn't just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition.
Aristotle
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
Aristotle
There is simple ignorance, which is the source of lighter offenses, and double ignorance, which is accompanied by a conceit of wisdom.
Aristotle
