More quotes by Aristotle
We must not listen to those who advise us 'being men to think human thoughts, and being mortal to think mortal thoughts' but must put on immortality as much as possible and strain every nerve to live according to that best part of us, which, being small in bulk, yet much more in its power and honour surpasses all else.
Aristotle
All flatterers are mercenary, and all low-minded men are flatterers.
Aristotle
The democrats think that as they are equal they ought to be equal in all things.
Aristotle
... the good for man is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue, or if there are more kinds of virtue than one, in accordance with the best and most perfect kind.
Aristotle
The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.

Aristotle
What is the highest good in all matters of action? To the name, there is almost complete agreement for uneducated and educated alike call it happiness, and make happiness identical with the good life and successful living. They disagree, however, about the meaning of happiness.
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
The good lawgiver should inquire how states and races of men and communities may participate in a good life, and in the happiness which is attainable by them.
Aristotle
If every tool, when ordered, or even of its own accord, could do the work that befits it... then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master workers or of slaves for the lords.
Aristotle
Character is made by many acts it may be lost by a single one.
Aristotle
That rule is the better which is exercised over better subjects.
Aristotle
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Aristotle
The blood of a goat will shatter a diamond.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
Aristotle
It is clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are seeking, we must consider the following point: of what kind of principles and of what kind of causes is wisdom the knowledge?
Aristotle
A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility.
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
