More quotes by Aristotle
Whereas the law is passionless, passion must ever sway the heart of man.
Aristotle
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
Victory is plesant, not only to those who love to conquer, bot to all for there is produced an idea of superiority, which all with more or less eagerness desire.
Aristotle
The law is reason unaffected by desire.
Aristotle
Character is determined by choice, not opinion.
Aristotle
To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
It would then be most admirably adapted to the purposes of justice, if laws properly enacted were, as far as circumstances admitted, of themselves to mark out all cases, and to abandon as few as possible to the discretion of the judge.
Aristotle
Why do men seek honour? Surely in order to confirm the favorable opinion they have formed of themselves.
Aristotle
No man of high and generous spirit is ever willing to indulge in flattery the good may feel affection for others, but will not flatter them.
Aristotle

Aristotle
I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy.
Aristotle

Aristotle
We work to earn our leisure.
Aristotle
But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
Aristotle
For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.
Aristotle
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
It is through wonder that men now begin and originally began to philosophize wondering in the first place at obvious perplexities, and then by gradual progression raising questions about the greater matters too.
Aristotle
