More quotes by Aristotle
Here and elsewhere we shall not obtain the best insight into things until we actually see them growing from the beginning.
Aristotle
Just as at the Olympic games it is not the handsomest or strongest men who are crowned with victory but the successful competitors, so in life it is those who act rightly who carry off all the prizes and rewards.
Aristotle
Art is identical with a state of capacity to make, involving a true course of reasoning.
Aristotle
The body is at its best between the ages of thirty and thirty-five.
Aristotle
In a word, acts of any kind produce habits or characters of the same kind. Hence we ought to make sure that our acts are of a certain kind for the resulting character varies as they vary. It makes no small difference, therefore, whether a man be trained in his youth up in this way or that, but a great difference, or rather all the difference.
Aristotle
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
So it is clear that the search for what is just is a search for the mean for the law is the mean.
Aristotle
Every wicked man is in ignorance as to what he ought to do, and from what to abstain, and it is because of error such as this that men become unjust and, in a word, wicked.
Aristotle
For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.
Aristotle
A line is not made up of points. ... In the same way, time is not made up parts considered as indivisible 'nows.' Part of Aristotle's reply to Zeno's paradox concerning continuity.
Aristotle
In justice is all virtues found in sum.
Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Aristotle
Teachers, who educate children, deserve more honour than parents, who merely gave them birth for the latter provided mere life, while the former ensure a good life.
Aristotle
These virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions ... The good of man is a working of the soul in the way of excellence in a complete life.
Aristotle
To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.
Aristotle
The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.
Aristotle
Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.
Aristotle
