More quotes by Aristotle
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile?
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
Patience s bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
Temperance and bravery, then, are ruined by excess and deficiency, but preserved by the mean.
Aristotle
All men agree that a just distribution must be according to merit in some sense they do not all specify the same sort of merit, but democrats identify it with freemen, supporters of oligarchy with wealth (or noble birth), and supporters of aristocracy with excellence.
Aristotle
1 is not prime, by definition. 2 is an unnatural prime, 4 is an unnatural prime, and 6 is an unnatural prime. All other natural primes cannot be unnatural primes.
Aristotle
He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.
Aristotle
We ought, so far as it lies within our power, to aspire to immortality, and do all that we can to live in conformity with the highest that is within us for even if it is small in quantity, in power and preciousness, it far excels all the rest.
Aristotle
A very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed.
Aristotle
Men pay most attention to what is their own: they care less for what is common or, at any rate, they care for it only to the extent to which each is individually concerned.
Aristotle
Let us first understand the facts and then we may seek the cause.
Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
Aristotle
It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.
Aristotle
Prudence as well as Moral Virtue determines the complete performance of a man's proper function: Virtue ensures the rightness of the end we aim at, Prudence ensures the rightness of the means we adopt to gain that end.
Aristotle
God has many names, though He is only one Being.
Aristotle
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.
Aristotle
The arousing of prejudice, pity, anger, and similar emotions has nothing to do with the essential facts, but is merely a personal appeal to the man who is judging the case.
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
A period may be defined as a portion of speech that has in itself a beginning and an end, being at the same time not too big to be taken in at a glance
Aristotle
