More quotes by Aristotle
Everyone honors the wise.
Aristotle
Our virtues are voluntary (and in fact we are in a sense ourselves partly the cause of our moral dispositions, and it is our having a certain character that makes us set up an end of a certain kind), it follows that our vices are voluntary also they are voluntary in the same manner as our virtues.
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way.
Aristotle
Again, the male is by nature superior, and the female inferior and the one rules, and the other is ruled this principle, of necessity, extends to all mankind.
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
Wicked men obey for fear, but the good for love.
Aristotle
Melancholy men of all others are most witty, which causeth many times a divine ravishment, and a kinde of Enthusiasmus, which stirreth them up to bee excellent Philosophers, Poets, Prophets, etc.
Aristotle
There are some jobs in which it is impossible for a man to be virtuous.
Aristotle
The business of every art is to bring something into existence, and the practice of an art involves the study of how to bring into existence something which is capable of having such an existence and has its efficient cause in the maker and not in itself.
Aristotle
When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.
Aristotle
The democrats think that as they are equal they ought to be equal in all things.
Aristotle
Here and elsewhere we shall not obtain the best insight into things until we actually see them growing from the beginning.
Aristotle
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
The character which results from wealth is that of a prosperous fool.
Aristotle
Now, the causes being four, it is the business of the student of nature to know about them all, and if he refers his problems back to all of them, he will assign the why in the way proper to his science-the matter, the form, the mover, that for the sake of which.
Aristotle
All men by nature desire knowledge.
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 first principle of all action is leisure.
Aristotle
Friendship is communion.
Aristotle
