More quotes by Aristotle
The virtue of a faculty is related to the special function which that faculty performs.

Of these, Sensation never originates action, as is shown by the fact that animals have sensation but are not capable of action.
Aristotle

Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
Quid quid movetur ab alio movetur(nothing moves without having been moved).
