Opinion involves belief (for without belief in what we opine we cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often find imagination we never find belief.

More quotes by Aristotle
The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle
The basis of a democratic state is liberty
Aristotle
Everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature as good as it can be, and similarly everything that depends on art or any rational cause, and especially if it depends on the best of all causes.
Aristotle
When the citizens at large administer the state for the common interest, the government is called by the generic name - a constitution.
Aristotle
The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward.
Aristotle
The line between lawful and unlawful abortion will be marked by the fact of having sensation and being alive.
Aristotle
If the art of ship-building were in the wood, ships would exist by nature.
Aristotle
People do not naturally become morally excellent or practically wise. They become so, if at all, only as the result of lifelong personal and community effort.
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
Each human being is bred with a unique set of potentials that yearn to be fulfilled as surely as the acorn yearns to become the oak within it.
Aristotle
Your happiness depends on you alone.
Aristotle
Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.
Aristotle
One thing alone not even God can do,To make undone whatever hath been done.
Aristotle
Any change of government which has to be introduced should be one which men, starting from their existing constitutions, will be both willing and able to adopt, since there is quite as much trouble in the reformation of an old constitution as in the establishment of a new one, just as to unlearn is as hard as to learn.
Aristotle
Happiness is something final and complete in itself, as being the aim and end of all practical activities whatever .... Happiness then we define as the active exercise of the mind in conformity with perfect goodness or virtue.
Aristotle
Every virtue is a mean between two extremes, each of which is a vice.
Aristotle
Emotions of any kind are produced by melody and rhythm therefore by music a man becomes accustomed to feeling the right emotions music has thus the power to form character, and the various kinds of music based on various modes may be distinguished by their effects on character.
Aristotle
The body is most fully developed from thirty to thirty-five years of age, the mind at about forty-nine.
Aristotle
A democracy exists whenever those who are free and are not well-off, being in the majority, are in sovereign control of government, an oligarchy when control lies with the rich and better-born, these being few.
Aristotle
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
Aristotle
