More quotes by Aristotle
Phronimos, possessing practical wisdom . But the only virtue special to a ruler is practical wisdom all the others must be possessed, so it seems, both by rulers and ruled. The virtue of a person being ruled is not practical wisdom but correct opinion he is rather like a person who makes the pipes, while the ruler is the one who can play them.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle

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 activity of God, which is transcendent in blessedness, is the activity of contemplation and therefore among human activities that which is most akin to the divine activity of contemplation will be the greatest source of happiness.
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
The many are more incorruptible than the few they are like the greater quantity of water which is less easily corrupted than a little.
Aristotle
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
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
Victory is plesant, not only to those who love to conquer, bot to all for there is produced an idea of superiority, which all with more or less eagerness desire.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we can have what we want in the future
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
Poetry demands a man with a special gift for it, or else one with a touch of madness in him.
Aristotle
