More quotes by Aristotle
Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.
Aristotle
Men must be able to engage in business and go to war, but leisure and peace are better they must do what is necessary and indeed what is useful, but what is honorable is better. On such principles children and persons of every age which requires education should be trained.
Aristotle
One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.
Aristotle
Equality consists in the same treatment of similar persons.
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
Everyone honors the wise.
Aristotle
For that which has become habitual, becomes as it were natural.
Aristotle
A city is composed of different kinds of men similar people cannot bring a city into existence.
Aristotle
The greatest crimes are caused by surfeit, not by want.
Aristotle

Aristotle
It is also in the interests of a tyrant to make his subjects poo...the people are so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for plotting.
Aristotle
It is true, indeed, that the account Plato gives in 'Timaeus' is different from what he says in his so-called 'unwritten teachings.'
Aristotle
But it is not at all certain that this superiority of the many over the sound few is possible in the case of every people and every large number. There are some whom it would be impossible: otherwise the theory would apply to wild animals- and yet some men are hardly any better than wild animals.
Aristotle
Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.
Aristotle
No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.
Aristotle
In all things which have a plurality of parts, and which are not a total aggregate but a whole of some sort distinct from the parts, there is some cause.
Aristotle
