More quotes by Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
Greed has no boundaries
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
To know what virtue is is not enough we must endeavor to possess and to practice it, or in some other manner actually ourselves to become good.
Aristotle
One may go wrong in many different ways, but right only in one, which is why it is easy to fail and difficult to succeed.
Aristotle
Anything whose presence or absence makes no discernible difference is no essential part of the whole.
Aristotle
Since the things we do determine the character of life, no blessed person can become unhappy. For he will never do those things which are hateful and petty.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
The greatest victory is over self.
Aristotle
Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.
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
Choice not chance determines your destiny [my family motto...credited to Aristotle]
Aristotle
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.
Aristotle
Our problem is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit.
Aristotle
...virtue is not merely a state in conformity with the right principle, but one that implies the right principle and the right principle in moral conduct is prudence.
Aristotle
Evil draws men together.
Aristotle
Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.
Aristotle
The male has more teeth than the female in mankind, and sheep and goats, and swine. This has not been observed in other animals. Those persons which have the greatest number of teeth are the longest lived those which have them widely separated, smaller, and more scattered, are generally more short lived.
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
