More quotes by Aristotle
He is courageous who endures and fears the right thing, for the right motive, in the right way and at the right times.
Aristotle
It would then be most admirably adapted to the purposes of justice, if laws properly enacted were, as far as circumstances admitted, of themselves to mark out all cases, and to abandon as few as possible to the discretion of the judge.
Aristotle
When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficing, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
Aristotle
These two rational faculties may be designated the Scientific Faculty and the Calculative Faculty respectively since calculation is the same as deliberation, and deliberation is never exercised about things that are invariable, so that the Calculative Faculty is a separate part of the rational half of the soul.
Aristotle
In a word, acts of any kind produce habits or characters of the same kind. Hence we ought to make sure that our acts are of a certain kind for the resulting character varies as they vary. It makes no small difference, therefore, whether a man be trained in his youth up in this way or that, but a great difference, or rather all the difference.
Aristotle
And inasmuch as the great-souled man deserves most, he must be the best of men for the better a man is the more he deserves, and he that is best deserves most. Therefore the truly great-souled man must be a good man. Indeed greatness in each of the virtues would seem to go with greatness of soul.
Aristotle
To Thales the primary question was not what do we know, but how do we know it.
Aristotle
Education begins at the level of the learner.
Aristotle
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
If 'bounded by a surface' is the definition of body there cannot be an infinite body either intelligible or sensible.
Aristotle
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
Aristotle
A goal gets us motivated,while a good habit keeps us stay motivated.
Aristotle
No man of high and generous spirit is ever willing to indulge in flattery the good may feel affection for others, but will not flatter them.
Aristotle
Yes the truth is that men's ambition and their desire to make money are among the most frequent causes of deliberate acts of injustice.
Aristotle
The virtue as the art consecrates itself constantly to what's difficult to do, and the harder the task, the shinier the success.
Aristotle
In practical matters the end is not mere speculative knowledge of what is to be done, but rather the doing of it. It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it, or to take any other steps that may make.
Aristotle
What is the highest good in all matters of action? To the name, there is almost complete agreement for uneducated and educated alike call it happiness, and make happiness identical with the good life and successful living. They disagree, however, about the meaning of happiness.
Aristotle
Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued withthe same passion and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form.
Aristotle
