More quotes by Aristotle
Teachers, who educate children, deserve more honour than parents, who merely gave them birth for the latter provided mere life, while the former ensure a good life.
Aristotle
for we are inquiring not in order to know what virtue is, but in order to become good, since otherwise our inquiry would have been of no use
Aristotle
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
Evils draw men together.
Aristotle
Hope is a waking dream.
Aristotle
The good lawgiver should inquire how states and races of men and communities may participate in a good life, and in the happiness which is attainable by them.
Aristotle
Nature herself, as has been often said, requires that we should be able, not only to work well, but to use leisure well for, as I must repeat once again, the first principle of all action is leisure. Both are required, but leisure is better than occupation and is its end.
Aristotle
That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it
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
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
Aristotle
It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want.
Aristotle
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.
Aristotle
The good man is he for whom, because he is virtuous, the things that are absolutely good are good it is also plain that his use of these goods must be virtuous and in the absolute sense good.
Aristotle
That body is heavier than another which, in an equal bulk, moves downward quicker.
Aristotle
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
Aristotle
Nowadays, for the sake of the advantage which is to be gained from the public revenues and from office, men want to be always in office.
Aristotle
A proper wife should be as obedient as a slave... The female is a female by virtue of a certain lack of qualities - a natural defectiveness.
Aristotle
Love well, be loved and do something of value.
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
In general, what is written must be easy to read and easy to speak which is the same.
Aristotle
