More quotes by Aristotle

Aristotle
A goal gets us motivated,while a good habit keeps us stay motivated.
Aristotle
He overcomes a stout enemy who overcomes his own anger.
Aristotle
Even if we could suppose the citizen body to be virtuous, without each of them being so, yet the latter would be better, for in the virtue of each the virtue of all is involved.
Aristotle
The aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought....The little human animal will not at first have the right responses. It must be trained to feel pleasure, liking, disgust, and hatred at those things which really are pleasant, likable, disgusting, and hateful.
Aristotle
The virtue of a faculty is related to the special function which that faculty performs. Now there are three elements in the soul which control action and the attainment of truth: namely, Sensation, Intellect, and Desire. Of these, Sensation never originates action, as is shown by the fact that animals have sensation but are not capable of action.
Aristotle
Happiness does not consist in amusement. In fact, it would be strange if our end were amusement, and if we were to labor and suffer hardships all our life long merely to amuse ourselves.... The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.
Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle

Aristotle
In general, what is written must be easy to read and easy to speak which is the same.
Aristotle
Beauty is a gift of God.
Aristotle
Laws, when good, should be supreme and that the magistrate or magistrates should regulate those matters only on which the laws are unable to speak with precision owing to the difficulty of any general principle embracing all particulars.
Aristotle
Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
A body in motion can maintain this motion only if it remains in contact with a mover.
Aristotle
. .we would have to say that hereditary succession is harmful. You may say the king, having sovereign power, will not in that case hand over to his children. But it is hard to believe that: it is a difficult achievement, which expects too much virtue of human nature.
Aristotle
No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
Aristotle
He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
Those who cannot bravely face danger are the slaves of their attackers.
Aristotle
Everyone honors the wise.
Aristotle
