More quotes by Aristotle
Imagination is a sort of faint perception.
Aristotle
...one Greek city state had a fundamental law: anyone proposing revisions to the constitution did so with a noose around his neck. If his proposal lost he was instantly hanged.
Aristotle
Whether we will philosophize or we won't philosophize, we must philosophize.
Aristotle
All men agree that a just distribution must be according to merit in some sense they do not all specify the same sort of merit, but democrats identify it with freemen, supporters of oligarchy with wealth (or noble birth), and supporters of aristocracy with excellence.
Aristotle
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
Aristotle
Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
Aristotle
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Aristotle
Art is identical with a state of capacity to make, involving a true course of reasoning.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Peace is more difficult than war.
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
In everything, it is no easy task to find the middle.
Aristotle
For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize... They were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.
Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
All flatterers are mercenary, and all low-minded men are flatterers.
Aristotle
Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.
Aristotle
The man who is content to live alone is either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Aristotle
