More quotes by Aristotle
If everything when it occupies an equal space is at rest, and if that which is in locomotion is always occupying such a space at any moment, the flying arrow is therefore motionless.
Aristotle
We cannot ... prove geometrical truths by arithmetic.
Aristotle
A thing chosen always as an end and never as a means we call absolutely final. Now happiness above all else appears to be absolutely final in this sense, since we always choose it for its own sake and never as a means to something else.
Aristotle
The first principle of all action is leisure.
Aristotle
My lectures are published and not published they will be intelligible to those who heard them, and to none beside.
Aristotle
Any change of government which has to be introduced should be one which men, starting from their existing constitutions, will be both willing and able to adopt, since there is quite as much trouble in the reformation of an old constitution as in the establishment of a new one, just as to unlearn is as hard as to learn.
Aristotle
Excellence or virtue is a settled disposition of the mind that determines our choice of actions and emotions and consists essentially in observing the mean relative to us ... a mean between two vices, that which depends on excess and that which depends on defect.
Aristotle
Life cannot be lived, and understood, simultaneously.
Aristotle
Without virtue it is difficult to bear gracefully the honors of fortune.
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
One kind of justice is that which is manifested in distributions of honour or money or the other things that fall to be divided among those who have a share in the constitution ... and another kind is that which plays a rectifying part in transactions.
Aristotle
For what is the best choice for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.
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
When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.
Aristotle
The arousing of prejudice, pity, anger, and similar emotions has nothing to do with the essential facts, but is merely a personal appeal to the man who is judging the case.
Aristotle
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
Aristotle
Every formed disposition of the soul realizes its full nature in relation to and dealing with that class of objects by which it is its nature to be corrupted or improved.
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
By myth I mean the arrangement of the incidents
Aristotle
In educating the young we steer them by the rudders of pleasure and pain
Aristotle
