More quotes by Aristotle
It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.
Aristotle
Man perfected by society is the best of all animals he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice.
Aristotle
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle
Goodness is to do good to the deserving and love the good and hate the wicked, and not to be eager to inflict punishment or take vengeance, but to be gracious and kindly and forgiving.
Aristotle
Everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature as good as it can be, and similarly everything that depends on art or any rational cause, and especially if it depends on the best of all causes.
Aristotle
The avarice of mankind is insatiable.
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, isn't just an act, but a habit and life isn't just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
We have no evidence as yet about mind or the power to think it seems to be a widely different kind of soul, differing as what is eternal from what is perishable it alone is capable of existence in isolation from all other psychic powers.
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
The so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles of mathematics were the principles of all things.
Aristotle
It is no easy task to be good.
Aristotle
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
Aristotle
There is nothing unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.
Aristotle
I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy.
Aristotle
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
Aristotle
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the first move-and he, in turn, waits for you.
Aristotle
The beginning of reform is not so much to equalize property as to train the noble sort of natures not to desire more, and to prevent the lower from getting more.
Aristotle
