More quotes by Aristotle
If you see a man approaching with the obvious intent of doing you good, run for your life. Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
Aristotle
for we are inquiring not in order to know what virtue is, but in order to become good, since otherwise our inquiry would have been of no use
Aristotle
Law is order, and good law is good order.
Aristotle
Neither old people nor sour people seem to make friends easily for there is little that is pleasant in them.
Aristotle
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. As in other sciences, so in politics, it is impossible that all things should be precisely set down in writing for enactments must be universal, but actions are concerned with particulars. Hence we infer that sometimes and in certain cases laws may be changed.
Aristotle
For often, when one is asleep, there is something in consciousness which declares that what then presents itself is but a dream.
Aristotle
Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued withthe same passion and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form.
Aristotle
The best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and his destiny.
Aristotle
The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
Nature makes nothing incomplete, and nothing in vain.
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
The beginning, as the proverb says, is half the whole.
Aristotle
We are what we continually do.
Aristotle
That which is impossible and probable is better than that which is possible and improbable.
Aristotle
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
Aristotle
Find the good. Seek the Unity. Ignore the divisions among us.
Aristotle
