More quotes by Aristotle
But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.
Aristotle
Metaphor is halfway between the unintelligible and the commonplace.
Aristotle
All flatterers are mercenary, and all low-minded men are flatterers.
Aristotle
It would then be most admirably adapted to the purposes of justice, if laws properly enacted were, as far as circumstances admitted, of themselves to mark out all cases, and to abandon as few as possible to the discretion of the judge.
Aristotle
It is the active exercise of our faculties in conformity with virtue that causes happiness, and the opposite activities its opposite.
Aristotle
The senses are gateways to the intelligence. There is nothing in the intelligence which did not first pass through the senses.
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle
It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.
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
All communication must lead to change
Aristotle
The right constitutions, three in number- kingship, aristocracy, and polity- and the deviations from these, likewise three in number - tyranny from kingship, oligarchy from aristocracy, democracy from polity.
Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
There is nothing unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.
Aristotle
Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency.
Aristotle
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
Aristotle
No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
Aristotle
There is a cropping-time in the races of men, as in the fruits of the field and sometimes, if the stock be good, there springs up for a time a succession of splendid men and then comes a period of barrenness.
Aristotle
Of old, the demagogue was also a general, and then democracies changed into tyrannies. Most of the ancient tyrants were originally demagogues. They are not so now, but they were then and the reason is that they were generals and not orators, for oratory had not yet come into fashion.
Aristotle
...virtue is not merely a state in conformity with the right principle, but one that implies the right principle and the right principle in moral conduct is prudence.
Aristotle
Democracy is the form of government in which the free are rulers, and oligarchy in which the rich it is only an accident that the free are the many and the rich are the few.
Aristotle
