More quotes by Aristotle
The souls ability to nourish itself lies in the heart.
Aristotle
It seems that ambition makes most people wish to be loved rather than to love others.
Aristotle
Evil draws men together.
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 Homer who has chiefly taught other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
The real difference between democracy and oligarchy is poverty and wealth. Wherever men rule by reason of their wealth, whether they be few or many, that is an oligarchy, and where the poor rule, that is a democracy.
Aristotle
Now, the causes being four, it is the business of the student of nature to know about them all, and if he refers his problems back to all of them, he will assign the why in the way proper to his science-the matter, the form, the mover, that for the sake of which.
Aristotle
Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action
Aristotle
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
Aristotle
Imagination is a sort of faint perception.
Aristotle
When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.
Aristotle
In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion second, the language third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
Aristotle
Happiness is self-connectedness.
Aristotle
Without virtue it is difficult to bear gracefully the honors of fortune.
Aristotle
To leave the number of births unrestricted, as is done in most states, inevitably causes poverty among the citizens, and poverty produces crime and faction.
Aristotle
It is no part of a physician's business to use either persuasion or compulsion upon the patients.
Aristotle
Since the things we do determine the character of life, no blessed person can become unhappy. For he will never do those things which are hateful and petty.
Aristotle
Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.
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
