More quotes by Aristotle
The best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and his destiny.
Aristotle
Imagination is a sort of faint perception.
Aristotle
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle
The virtue as the art consecrates itself constantly to what's difficult to do, and the harder the task, the shinier the success.
Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
Money originated with royalty and slavery, it has nothing to do with democracy or the struggle of the empoverished enslaved majority.
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, isn't just an act, but a habit and life isn't just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition.
Aristotle
It has been handed down in mythical form from earliest times to posterity, that there are gods, and that the divine (Deity) compasses all nature. All beside this has been added, after the mythical style, for the purpose of persuading the multitude, and for the interests of the laws, and the advantage of the state.
Aristotle
The law is reason unaffected by desire.
Aristotle
The life of money-making is one undertaken under compulsion, and wealth is evidently not the good we are seeking for it is merely useful and for the sake of something else.
Aristotle
Before you heal the body you must first heal the mind
Aristotle
Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.
Aristotle
Nature makes nothing incomplete, and nothing in vain.
Aristotle
Concerning the generation of animals akin to them, as hornets and wasps, the facts in all cases are similar to a certain extent, but are devoid of the extraordinary features which characterize bees this we should expect, for they have nothing divine about them as the bees have.
Aristotle
For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.
Aristotle
Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Aristotle
Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.
Aristotle
Friendship is a thing most necessary to life, since without friends no one would choose to live, though possessed of all other advantages.
Aristotle
Love well, be loved and do something of value.
Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
