Every man should be responsible to others, nor should any one be allowed to do just as he pleases for where absolute freedom is allowed, there is nothing to restrain the evil which is inherent in every man.

More quotes by Aristotle
Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency.
Aristotle
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.
Aristotle
There also appears to be another element in the soul, which, though irrational, yet in a manner participates in rational principle.
Aristotle
PLOT is CHARACTER revealed by ACTION.
Aristotle
A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense at everything.
Aristotle
We do not know a truth without knowing its cause.
Aristotle
All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established.
Aristotle
Even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion. We may conclude then that the law is reason without passion, and it is therefore preferable to any individual.
Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
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
A speaker who is attempting to move people to thought or action must concern himself with Pathos.
Aristotle
We should venture on the study of every kind of animal without distaste for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful.
Aristotle
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Aristotle
The many are more incorruptible than the few they are like the greater quantity of water which is less easily corrupted than a little.
Aristotle
For often, when one is asleep, there is something in consciousness which declares that what then presents itself is but a dream.
Aristotle
Every wicked man is in ignorance as to what he ought to do, and from what to abstain, and it is because of error such as this that men become unjust and, in a word, wicked.
Aristotle
As to adultery, let it be held disgraceful, in general, for any man or woman to be found in any way unfaithful when they are married, and called husband and wife. If during the time of bearing children anything of the sort occur, let the guilty person be punished with a loss of privileges in proportion to the offense.
Aristotle
Also, that which is desirable in itself is more desirable than what is desirable per accidens.
Aristotle
Each human being is bred with a unique set of potentials that yearn to be fulfilled as surely as the acorn yearns to become the oak within it.
Aristotle
