More quotes by Aristotle
Opinion involves belief (for without belief in what we opine we cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often find imagination we never find belief.
Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
They who are to be judges must also be performers.
Aristotle
The secret to humor is surprise.
Aristotle
If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much. But indeed there is always a difficulty in men living together and having all human relations in common, but especially in their having common property.
Aristotle
In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion second, the language third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
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
If men are given food, but no chastisement nor any work, they become insolent.
Aristotle
With respect to the requirement of art, the probable impossible is always preferable to the improbable possible.
Aristotle
Not to get what you have set your heart on is almost as bad as getting nothing at all.
Aristotle
As to adultery, let it be held disgraceful, in general, for any man or woman to be found in any way unfaithful when they are married, and called husband and wife. If during the time of bearing children anything of the sort occur, let the guilty person be punished with a loss of privileges in proportion to the offense.
Aristotle
Peace is more difficult than war.
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle
Moral virtue is ... a mean between two vices, that of excess and that of defect, and ... it is no small task to hit the mean in each case, as it is not, for example, any chance comer, but only the geometer, who can find the center of a given circle.
Aristotle
All communication must lead to change
Aristotle
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
All that one gains by falsehood is, not to be believed when he speaks the truth.
Aristotle
