More quotes by Aristotle
Thus then a single harmony orders the composition of the whole...by the mingling of the most contrary principles.
Aristotle
Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.
Aristotle
The majority of mankind would seem to be beguiled into error by pleasure, which, not being really a good, yet seems to be so. So that they indiscriminately choose as good whatsoever gives them pleasure, while they avoid all pain alike as evil.
Aristotle
Men come together in cities in order to live: they remain together in order to live the good life
Aristotle
It is impossible, or not easy, to alter by argument what has long been absorbed by habit
Aristotle
Teachers, who educate children, deserve more honour than parents, who merely gave them birth for the latter provided mere life, while the former ensure a good life.
Aristotle
Equity is that idea of justice which contravenes the written law.
Aristotle
Education begins at the level of the learner.
Aristotle
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle
And yet the true creator is necessity, which is the mother of invention.
Aristotle
Even that some people try deceived me many times ... I will not fail to believe that somewhere, someone deserves my trust.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
The hardest victory is the victory over self.
Aristotle
People generally despise where they flatter.
Aristotle
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the first move-and he, in turn, waits for you.
Aristotle
We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
Aristotle
It is not sufficient to know what one ought to say, but one must also know how to say it.
Aristotle
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Aristotle
A good man may make the best even of poverty and disease, and the other ills of life but he can only attain happiness under the opposite conditions
Aristotle
Today you can start forming habits for overcoming all obstacles in life... even nicotine cravings
Aristotle
