More quotes by Aristotle
Of the tyrant, spies and informers are the principal instruments. War is his favorite occupation, for the sake of engrossing the attention of the people, and making himself necessary to them as their leader.
Aristotle
Every man should be responsible to others, nor should any one be allowed to do just as he pleases for where absolute freedom is allowed, there is nothing to restrain the evil which is inherent in every man.
Aristotle
The continuum is that which is divisible into indivisibles that are infinitely divisible.
Aristotle
Every wicked man is in ignorance as to what he ought to do, and from what to abstain, and it is because of error such as this that men become unjust and, in a word, wicked.
Aristotle
Character is determined by choice, not opinion.
Aristotle
Goodness is to do good to the deserving and love the good and hate the wicked, and not to be eager to inflict punishment or take vengeance, but to be gracious and kindly and forgiving.
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
It is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Those who act receive the prizes.
Aristotle
Neither old people nor sour people seem to make friends easily for there is little that is pleasant in them.
Aristotle
The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.
Aristotle
We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends behave to us
Aristotle
All food must be capable of being digested, and that what produces digestion is warmth that is why everything that has soul in it possesses warmth.
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
It is no part of a physician's business to use either persuasion or compulsion upon the patients.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we can have what we want in the future
Aristotle
We are the sum of our actions, and therefore our habits make all the difference.
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
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle
