More quotes by Aristotle
The continuum is that which is divisible into indivisibles that are infinitely divisible.
Aristotle
It is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.
Aristotle
Property should be in a certain sense common, but, as a general rule, private for, when every one has a distinct interest, men will not complain of one another, and they will make more progress, because every one will be attending to his own business.
Aristotle
A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility.
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
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
Aristotle
For the real difference between humans and other animals is that humans alone have perception of good and evil, just and unjust, etc. It is the sharing of a common view in these matters that makes a household and a state.
Aristotle
That body is heavier than another which, in an equal bulk, moves downward quicker.
Aristotle
Happiness does not lie in amusement it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself.
Aristotle
Any change of government which has to be introduced should be one which men, starting from their existing constitutions, will be both willing and able to adopt, since there is quite as much trouble in the reformation of an old constitution as in the establishment of a new one, just as to unlearn is as hard as to learn.
Aristotle
The aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought....The little human animal will not at first have the right responses. It must be trained to feel pleasure, liking, disgust, and hatred at those things which really are pleasant, likable, disgusting, and hateful.
Aristotle
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.
Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
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
It is the characteristic of the magnanimous man to ask no favor but to be ready to do kindness to others.
Aristotle
To be angry is easy. But to be angry with the right man at the right time and in the right manner, that is not easy.
Aristotle
People generally despise where they flatter.
Aristotle
Why do men seek honour? Surely in order to confirm the favorable opinion they have formed of themselves.
Aristotle
Friendship also seems to be the bond that hold communities together.
Aristotle
