More quotes by Aristotle
Now all orators effect their demonstrative proofs by allegation either of enthymems or examples, and, besides these, in no other way whatever.
Aristotle
The structural unity of the parts is such that, if any one of them is displaced or removed, the whole will be disjointed and disturbed. For a thing whose presence or absence makes no visible difference is not an organic part of the whole.
Aristotle
Thus then a single harmony orders the composition of the whole...by the mingling of the most contrary principles.
Aristotle
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
Nature does nothing in vain. Therefore, it is imperative for persons to act in accordance with their nature and develop their latent talents, in order to be content and complete.
Aristotle
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
Aristotle
A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.
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
All things are full of gods.
Aristotle
I was not alone when I was in Goofy hell
Aristotle
Evil draws men together.
Aristotle
A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense at everything.
Aristotle
The form of government is a democracy when the free, who are also poor and the majority, govern, and an oligarchy when the rich and the noble govern, they being at the same time few in number.
Aristotle
The so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles of mathematics were the principles of all things.
Aristotle
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
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
Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency.
Aristotle
PLOT is CHARACTER revealed by ACTION.
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 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
