More quotes by Aristotle
It is the characteristic of the magnanimous man to ask no favor but to be ready to do kindness to others.
Aristotle
A government which is composed of the middle class more nearly approximates to democracy than to oligarchy, and is the safest of the imperfect forms of government.
Aristotle
All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established.
Aristotle
In a polity, each citizen is to possess his own arms, which are not supplied or owned by the state.
Aristotle
There is always something new coming out of Africa.
Aristotle
The real difference between democracy and oligarchy is poverty and wealth. Wherever men rule by reason of their wealth, whether they be few or many, that is an oligarchy, and where the poor rule, that is a democracy.
Aristotle
It is also in the interests of a tyrant to make his subjects poo...the people are so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for plotting.
Aristotle
Each human being is bred with a unique set of potentials that yearn to be fulfilled as surely as the acorn yearns to become the oak within it.
Aristotle
Victory is plesant, not only to those who love to conquer, bot to all for there is produced an idea of superiority, which all with more or less eagerness desire.
Aristotle
Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
Aristotle
The greatest victory is over self.
Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
Today you can start forming habits for overcoming all obstacles in life... even nicotine cravings
Aristotle
Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert.
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
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
Madness is badness of spirit, when one seeks profit from all sources.
Aristotle
Tyrants preserve themselves by sowing fear and mistrust among the citizens by means of spies, by distracting them with foreign wars, by eliminating men of spirit who might lead a revolution, by humbling the people, and making them incapable of decisive action.
Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle
Nature of man is not what he was born as, but what he is born for.
Aristotle
