More quotes by Aristotle
... There must then be a principle of such a kind that its substance is activity.
Aristotle
What is common to many is least taken care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than what they possess in common with others.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
For contemplation is both the highest form of activity (since the intellect is the highest thing in us, and the objects that it apprehends are the highest things that can be known), and also it is the most continuous, because we are more capable of continuous contemplation than we are of any practical activity.
Aristotle
We must not listen to those who advise us 'being men to think human thoughts, and being mortal to think mortal thoughts' but must put on immortality as much as possible and strain every nerve to live according to that best part of us, which, being small in bulk, yet much more in its power and honour surpasses all else.
Aristotle
Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
Aristotle
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle
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.
Aristotle
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
The shape of the heaven is of necessity spherical for that is the shape most appropriate to its substance and also by nature primary.
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
So that the lover of myths, which are a compact of wonders, is by the same token a lover of wisdom.
Aristotle
