No one praises happiness as one praises justice, but we call it a 'blessing,' deeming it something higher and more divine than things we praise.

More quotes by Aristotle
Beauty is a gift of God.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.
Aristotle
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect they are equal absolutely.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
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
The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
Aristotle
A thing chosen always as an end and never as a means we call absolutely final. Now happiness above all else appears to be absolutely final in this sense, since we always choose it for its own sake and never as a means to something else.
Aristotle
For just as for a flute-player, a sculptor, or an artist, and, in general, for all things that have a function or activity, the good and the well is thought to reside in the function, so would it seem to be for man, if he has a function.
Aristotle
Victory is plesant, not only to those who love to conquer, bot to all for there is produced an idea of superiority, which all with more or less eagerness desire.
Aristotle
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle
Moral qualities are so constituted as to be destroyed by excess and by deficiency . . .
Aristotle
To the size of the state there is a limit, as there is to plants, animals and implements, for none of these retain their facility when they are too large.
Aristotle
In justice is all virtues found in sum.
Aristotle
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
Shipping magnate of the 20th century If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
Aristotle
It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to expect that amount of exactness which the nature of the particular subject admits. It is equally unreasonable to accept merely probable conclusions from a mathematician and to demand strict demonstration from an orator.
Aristotle
A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.
Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
