More quotes by Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
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
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion second, the language third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
Aristotle
Love well, be loved and do something of value.
Aristotle
What is common to many is least taken care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than what they possess in common with others.
Aristotle
The line between lawful and unlawful abortion will be marked by the fact of having sensation and being alive.
Aristotle
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
They who are to be judges must also be performers.
Aristotle
If then nature makes nothing without some end in view, nothing to no purpose, it must be that nature has made all of them for the sake of man.
Aristotle
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
By 'life,' we mean a thing that can nourish itself and grow and decay.
Aristotle
Happiness does not consist in amusement. In fact, it would be strange if our end were amusement, and if we were to labor and suffer hardships all our life long merely to amuse ourselves.... The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.
Aristotle
The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
Being a father is the most rewarding thing a man whose career has plateaued can do.
Aristotle
A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.
Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
