More quotes by Aristotle
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
Aristotle
Men pay most attention to what is their own: they care less for what is common or, at any rate, they care for it only to the extent to which each is individually concerned.
Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.
Aristotle
He then alone will strictly be called brave who is fearless of a noble death, and of all such chances as come upon us with sudden death in their train.
Aristotle
Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
Aristotle
The body is at its best between the ages of thirty and thirty-five.
Aristotle
Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.
Aristotle
...in this way the structure of the universe- I mean, of the heavens and the earth and the whole world- was arranged by one harmony through the blending of the most opposite principles.
Aristotle
So the good has been well explained as that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Aristotle
You should never think without an image.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we can have what we want in the future
Aristotle
. . . the man is free, we say, who exists for his own sake and not for another's.
Aristotle
Justice therefore demands that no one should do more ruling than being ruled, but that all should have their turn.
Aristotle
To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.
Aristotle
For what is the best choice for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.
Aristotle
But since there is but one aim for the entire state, it follows that education must be one and the same for all, and that the responsibility for it must be a public one, not the private affair which it now is, each man looking after his own children and teaching them privately whatever private curriculum he thinks they ought to study.
Aristotle
It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.
Aristotle
