More quotes by 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
A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.
Aristotle
No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things.
Aristotle
When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so.
Aristotle
When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.
Aristotle
The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.

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

Aristotle
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect they are equal absolutely.
Aristotle
What is the highest good in all matters of action? To the name, there is almost complete agreement for uneducated and educated alike call it happiness, and make happiness identical with the good life and successful living. They disagree, however, about the meaning of happiness.
Aristotle
By 'life,' we mean a thing that can nourish itself and grow and decay.
Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
The good man is he for whom, because he is virtuous, the things that are absolutely good are good it is also plain that his use of these goods must be virtuous and in the absolute sense good.
Aristotle
Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action
Aristotle
Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three.
Aristotle
Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character ofthe speaker the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind the third on the proof, provided by the words of the speech itself.
Aristotle
