More quotes by Aristotle
The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.
Aristotle
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
Aristotle
Law is order, and good law is good order.
Aristotle
When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficing, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
Aristotle
The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.
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
Patience is so like fortitude that she seems either her sister or her daughter.
Aristotle
Friendship is communion.
Aristotle
A friend is another I.
Aristotle
Happiness is self-connectedness.
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
Irrational passions would seem to be as much a part of human nature as is reason.
Aristotle
Authority is no source for Truth.
Aristotle
When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency.
Aristotle
Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.
Aristotle
A state of the soul is either (1) an emotion, (2) a capacity, or (3) a disposition virtue therefore must be one of these three things.
Aristotle
Some men are just as sure of the truth of their opinions as are others of what they know.
Aristotle
It is clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are seeking, we must consider the following point: of what kind of principles and of what kind of causes is wisdom the knowledge?
Aristotle
