More quotes by Aristotle
When the storytelling goes bad in a society, the result is decadence.
Aristotle
These virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions ... The good of man is a working of the soul in the way of excellence in a complete life.
Aristotle
Laws, when good, should be supreme and that the magistrate or magistrates should regulate those matters only on which the laws are unable to speak with precision owing to the difficulty of any general principle embracing all particulars.
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
In educating the young we steer them by the rudders of pleasure and pain
Aristotle
Patience is so like fortitude that she seems either her sister or her daughter.
Aristotle
Happiness is prosperity combined with virtue.
Aristotle
A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange. Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not mere companionship.
Aristotle
The bad man is continually at war with, and in opposition to, himself.
Aristotle
Men cling to life even at the cost of enduring great misfortune.
Aristotle
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Aristotle
No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things.
Aristotle
Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.
Aristotle
If every tool, when ordered, or even of its own accord, could do the work that befits it... then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master workers or of slaves for the lords.
Aristotle
It was through the feeling of wonder that men now and at first began to philosophize.
Aristotle
You can never learn anything that you did not already know
Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
A friend is simply one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
To be always seeking after the useful does not become free and exalted souls.
Aristotle
