More quotes by Aristotle
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
Aristotle
The basis of a democratic state is liberty
Aristotle
The law is reason unaffected by desire.
Aristotle
Patience s bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
A man is his own best friend therefore he ought to love himself best.
Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
Aristotle
If the art of ship-building were in the wood, ships would exist by nature.
Aristotle
Also, that which is desirable in itself is more desirable than what is desirable per accidens.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits
Aristotle
So the good has been well explained as that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
Equality consists in the same treatment of similar persons.
Aristotle
Time is the measurable unit of movement concerning a before and an after.
Aristotle
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.
Aristotle
Tyrants preserve themselves by sowing fear and mistrust among the citizens by means of spies, by distracting them with foreign wars, by eliminating men of spirit who might lead a revolution, by humbling the people, and making them incapable of decisive action.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
Aristotle
Boundaries don't protect rivers, people do.
Aristotle
