More quotes by Aristotle
Men are marked from the moment of birth to rule or be ruled.
Aristotle
No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.
Aristotle
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
He who sees things grow from the beginning will have the best view of them.
Aristotle
Law is order, and good law is good order.
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
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
He is his own best friend and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude.
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
They who are to be judges must also be performers.
Aristotle
Now, the causes being four, it is the business of the student of nature to know about them all, and if he refers his problems back to all of them, he will assign the why in the way proper to his science-the matter, the form, the mover, that for the sake of which.
Aristotle
And yet the true creator is necessity, which is the mother of invention.
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
The arousing of prejudice, pity, anger, and similar emotions has nothing to do with the essential facts, but is merely a personal appeal to the man who is judging the case.
Aristotle
No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
Aristotle
A state of the soul is either (1) an emotion, (2) a capacity, or (3) a disposition virtue therefore must be one of these three things.
Aristotle
Aristocracy is that form of government in which education and discipline are qualifications for suffrage and office holding.
Aristotle
In justice is all virtues found in sum.
Aristotle
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
The first principle of all action is leisure.
Aristotle
