More quotes by Aristotle
Between friends there is no need for justice, but people who are just still need the quality of friendship and indeed friendliness is considered to be justice in the fullest sense.
Aristotle
So it is naturally with the male and the female the one is superior, the other inferior the one governs, the other is governed and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
Aristotle

Aristotle
All human happiness and misery take the form of action.
Aristotle
We must not feel a childish disgust at the investigations of the meaner animals. For there is something marvelous in all natural things.
Aristotle
The man who is truly good and wise will bear with dignity whatever fortune sends, and will always make the best of his circumstances.
Aristotle
Anybody can get hit over the head.
Aristotle
In the human species at all events there is a great diversity of pleasures. The same things delight some men and annoy others, and things painful and disgusting to some are pleasant and attractive to others.
Aristotle
Our actions determine our dispositions.
Aristotle
He who can be, and therefore is, another's, and he who participates in reason enough to apprehend, but not to have, is a slave by nature.
Aristotle
All flatterers are mercenary, and all low-minded men are flatterers.
Aristotle
