More quotes by Aristotle
Find the good. Seek the Unity. Ignore the divisions among us.
Aristotle
Nature makes nothing incomplete, and nothing in vain.
Aristotle
Now, the causes being four, it is the business of the student of nature to know about them all, and if he refers his problems back to all of them, he will assign the why in the way proper to his science-the matter, the form, the mover, that for the sake of which.

And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense at everything.
Aristotle
A common danger unites even the bitterest enemies.
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
Where the laws are not supreme, there demagogues spring up.
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
The good man is he for whom, because he is virtuous, the things that are absolutely good are good it is also plain that his use of these goods must be virtuous and in the absolute sense good.
Aristotle
He overcomes a stout enemy who overcomes his own anger.
Aristotle
