More quotes by Aristotle
Men must be able to engage in business and go to war, but leisure and peace are better they must do what is necessary and indeed what is useful, but what is honorable is better. On such principles children and persons of every age which requires education should be trained.
Aristotle
Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits
Aristotle
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.
Aristotle

Aristotle
When the storytelling goes bad in a society, the result is decadence.
Aristotle
It is not enough to win a war it is more important to organize the peace.
Aristotle
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. As in other sciences, so in politics, it is impossible that all things should be precisely set down in writing for enactments must be universal, but actions are concerned with particulars. Hence we infer that sometimes and in certain cases laws may be changed.
Aristotle
The basis of a democratic state is liberty
Aristotle
The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.
Aristotle
