More quotes by Aristotle
I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy.
Aristotle
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
When couples have children in excess, let abortion be procured before sense and life have begun what may or may not be lawfully done in these cases depends on the question of life and sensation.
Aristotle
Saying the words that come from knowledge is no sign of having it.
Aristotle
Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile?
Aristotle
Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
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
Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.
Aristotle
The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.
Aristotle
We do not know a truth without knowing its cause.
Aristotle
Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three.
Aristotle
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
Aristotle
The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle
The soul has two parts, one rational and the other irrational. Let us now similarly divide the rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we contemplate those things which admit of variation.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
Happiness does not lie in amusement it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself.
Aristotle
Those that deem politics beneath their dignity are doomed to be governed by those of lesser talents.
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Aristotle
It makes no difference whether a good man has defrauded a bad man, or a bad man defrauded a good man, or whether a good or bad man has committed adultery: the law can look only to the amount of damage done.
Aristotle
