More quotes by Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
We assume therefore that moral virtue is the quality of acting in the best way in relation to pleasures and pains, and that vice is the opposite.
Aristotle
The majority of mankind would seem to be beguiled into error by pleasure, which, not being really a good, yet seems to be so. So that they indiscriminately choose as good whatsoever gives them pleasure, while they avoid all pain alike as evil.
Aristotle
We should venture on the study of every kind of animal without distaste for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful.
Aristotle
A friend is simply one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
No man of high and generous spirit is ever willing to indulge in flattery the good may feel affection for others, but will not flatter them.
Aristotle
Whether we will philosophize or we won't philosophize, we must philosophize.
Aristotle
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.
Aristotle
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
Aristotle
The first principle of all action is leisure.
Aristotle
For that which has become habitual, becomes as it were natural.
Aristotle
One thing alone not even God can do,To make undone whatever hath been done.
Aristotle
. . . Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship.
Aristotle
We may assume the superiority ceteris paribus of the demonstration which derives from fewer postulates or hypotheses - in short, from fewer premises.
Aristotle
A city is composed of different kinds of men similar people cannot bring a city into existence.
Aristotle
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
We do not know a truth without knowing its cause.
Aristotle
