More quotes by Aristotle
Men are marked from the moment of birth to rule or be ruled.
Aristotle
...for all men do their acts with a view to achieving something which is, in their view, a good.
Aristotle
Of the tyrant, spies and informers are the principal instruments. War is his favorite occupation, for the sake of engrossing the attention of the people, and making himself necessary to them as their leader.
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
Democracy is the form of government in which the free are rulers.
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
Again, the male is by nature superior, and the female inferior and the one rules, and the other is ruled this principle, of necessity, extends to all mankind.
Aristotle
So it is naturally with the male and the female the one is superior, the other inferior the one governs, the other is governed and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind.
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle
We are not angry with people we fear or respect, as long as we fear or respect them you cannot be afraid of a person and also at the same time angry with him.
Aristotle
If you see a man approaching with the obvious intent of doing you good, run for your life. Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
The attainment of truth is then the function of both the intellectual parts of the soul. Therefore their respective virtues are those dispositions which will best qualify them to attain truth.
Aristotle
All that one gains by falsehood is, not to be believed when he speaks the truth.
Aristotle
One can aim at honor both as one ought, and more than one ought, and less than one ought. He whose craving for honor is excessive is said to be ambitious, and he who is deficient in this respect unambitious while he who observes the mean has no peculiar name.
Aristotle
Happiness is self-connectedness.
Aristotle
All human happiness and misery take the form of action.
Aristotle
Art is identical with a state of capacity to make, involving a true course of reasoning.
Aristotle
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Before you heal the body you must first heal the mind
Aristotle
The structural unity of the parts is such that, if any one of them is displaced or removed, the whole will be disjointed and disturbed. For a thing whose presence or absence makes no visible difference is not an organic part of the whole.
Aristotle
