More quotes by Aristotle
Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.
Aristotle
The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement - in fact, of nervous functions in general, - are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance.
Aristotle
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
The intelligence consists not only in the knowledge but also in the skill to apply the knowledge into practice.
Aristotle
People become house builders through building houses, harp players through playing the harp. We grow to be just by doing things which are just.
Aristotle

Aristotle
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
That which is impossible and probable is better than that which is possible and improbable.
Aristotle
[Meanness] is more ingrained in man's nature than Prodigality the mass of mankind are avaricious rather than open-handed.
Aristotle
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
Aristotle
And so long as they were at war, their power was preserved, but when they had attained empire they fell, for of the arts of peace they knew nothing, and had never engaged in any employment higher than war.
Aristotle
In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.
Aristotle
Worthless persons appointed to have supreme control of weighty affairs do a lot of damage.
Aristotle
Fortune favours the bold.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways . . . while to succeed is possible only in one way (for which reason also one is easy and the other difficult - to miss the mark easy, to hit it difficult).
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
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
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
Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
Aristotle
