More quotes by Aristotle
Wit is cultured insolence.
Aristotle
To die, and thus avoid poverty or love, or anything painful, is not the part of a brave man, but rather of a coward for it is cowardice to avoid trouble, and the suicide does not undergo death because it is honorable, but in order to avoid evil.
Aristotle
Metaphor is halfway between the unintelligible and the commonplace.
Aristotle
It seems that ambition makes most people wish to be loved rather than to love others.
Aristotle
Phronimos, possessing practical wisdom . But the only virtue special to a ruler is practical wisdom all the others must be possessed, so it seems, both by rulers and ruled. The virtue of a person being ruled is not practical wisdom but correct opinion he is rather like a person who makes the pipes, while the ruler is the one who can play them.
Aristotle
These virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions ... The good of man is a working of the soul in the way of excellence in a complete life.
Aristotle
Hope is a waking dream.
Aristotle
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle
We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends behave to us
Aristotle
A body in motion can maintain this motion only if it remains in contact with a mover.
Aristotle
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
When Pleasure is at the bar the jury is not impartial.
Aristotle
The weak are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay no heed to either.
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
A period may be defined as a portion of speech that has in itself a beginning and an end, being at the same time not too big to be taken in at a glance
Aristotle
Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle
If men are given food, but no chastisement nor any work, they become insolent.
Aristotle
