More quotes by Aristotle
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

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

Aristotle
For imagining lies within our power whenever we wish . . . but in forming opinons we are not free . . .
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
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
Everyone honors the wise.
Aristotle
Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.
