If everything when it occupies an equal space is at rest, and if that which is in locomotion is always occupying such a space at any moment, the flying arrow is therefore motionless.

More quotes by Aristotle
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
To give a satisfactory decision as to the truth it is necessary to be rather an arbitrator than a party to the dispute.
Aristotle
Where the laws are not supreme, there demagogues spring up.
Aristotle
Those whose days are consumed in the low pursuits of avarice, or the gaudy frivolties of fashion, unobservant of nature's lovelinessof demarcation, nor on which side thereof an intermediate form should lie.
Aristotle
One kind of justice is that which is manifested in distributions of honour or money or the other things that fall to be divided among those who have a share in the constitution ... and another kind is that which plays a rectifying part in transactions.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
Aristotle
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle
The law is reason unaffected by desire.
Aristotle
The guest will judge better of a feast than the cook
Aristotle
To the sober person adventurous conduct often seems insanity.
Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
In all well-attempered governments there is nothing which should be more jealously maintained than the spirit of obedience to law, more especially in small matters for transgression creeps in unperceived and at last ruins the state, just as the constant recurrence of small expenses in time eats up a fortune.
Aristotle
Now it is evident that the form of government is best in which every man, whoever he is, can act best and live happily.
Aristotle
Everybody loves a thing more if it has cost him trouble: for instance those who have made money love money more than those who have inherited it.
Aristotle
All art is concerned with coming into being for it is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature.
Aristotle
For imagining lies within our power whenever we wish . . . but in forming opinons we are not free . . .
Aristotle
When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so.
Aristotle
In general, what is written must be easy to read and easy to speak which is the same.
Aristotle
The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness.
Aristotle
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.
Aristotle
