More quotes by Aristotle
Democracy is the form of government in which the free are rulers, and oligarchy in which the rich it is only an accident that the free are the many and the rich are the few.
Aristotle
The light of the day is followed by night, as a shadow follows a body.
Aristotle
Poetry demands a man with a special gift for it, or else one with a touch of madness in him.
Aristotle
The weak are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay no heed to either.
Aristotle
Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it men come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp.

And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle

If, therefore, there is any one superior in virtue and in the power of performing the best actions, him we ought to follow and obey, but he must have the capacity for action as well as virtue.
Aristotle
The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
Aristotle
He is courageous who endures and fears the right thing, for the right motive, in the right way and at the right times.
Aristotle
The souls ability to nourish itself lies in the heart.
Aristotle
When you feel yourself lacking something, send your thoughts towards your Intimate and search for the Divinity that lives within you.
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
You should never think without an image.
Aristotle
For it is not true, as some treatise-mongers lay down in their systems, of the probity of the speaker, that it contributes nothing to persuasion but moral character nearly, I may say, carries with it the most sovereign efficacy in making credible.
Aristotle
