Aristotle

Aristotle
The male has more teeth than the female in mankind, and sheep and goats, and swine. This has not been observed in other animals. Those persons which have the greatest number of teeth are the longest lived those which have them widely separated, smaller, and more scattered, are generally more short lived.
Aristotle
Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.
Aristotle
Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.
Aristotle
The business of every art is to bring something into existence, and the practice of an art involves the study of how to bring into existence something which is capable of having such an existence and has its efficient cause in the maker and not in itself.
Aristotle
He overcomes a stout enemy who overcomes his own anger.
Aristotle
The vigorous are no better than the lazy during one half of life, for all men are alike when asleep.
Aristotle
Melancholy men of all others are most witty, which causeth many times a divine ravishment, and a kinde of Enthusiasmus, which stirreth them up to bee excellent Philosophers, Poets, Prophets, etc.
Aristotle
...The entire preoccupation of the physicist is with things that contain within themselves a principle of movement and rest.
Aristotle
The activity of happiness must occupy an entire lifetime for one swallow does not a summer make.
