More quotes by Aristotle
Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.
Aristotle
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Aristotle
One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.
Aristotle
A good style must, first of all, be clear. It must not be mean or above the dignity of the subject. It must be appropriate.
Aristotle
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
Aristotle
The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.
Aristotle
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Aristotle
Your happiness depends on you alone.
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
Such an event is probable in Agathon's sense of the word: 'it is probable,' he says, 'that many things should happen contrary to probability.'
Aristotle
The form of government is a democracy when the free, who are also poor and the majority, govern, and an oligarchy when the rich and the noble govern, they being at the same time few in number.
Aristotle
The citizens begin by giving up some part of the constitution, and so with greater ease the government change something else which is a little more important, until they have undermined the whole fabric of the state.
Aristotle
Wit is well-bred insolence.
Aristotle
Wicked me obey from fear good men,from love.
Aristotle
Greed has no boundaries
Aristotle
The soul suffers when the body is diseased or traumatized, while the body suffers when the soul is ailing.
Aristotle
Rhetoric is useful because truth and justice are in their nature stronger than their opposites so that if decisions be made, not in conformity to the rule of propriety, it must have been that they have been got the better of through fault of the advocates themselves: and this is deserving reprehension.
Aristotle
Human beings are curious by nature.
Aristotle
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
Happiness is self-connectedness.
Aristotle
