More quotes by Aristotle
Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.
Aristotle

Aristotle
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Leisure of itself gives pleasure and happiness and enjoyment of life, which are experienced, not by the busy man, but by those who have leisure.
Aristotle
To know what virtue is is not enough we must endeavor to possess and to practice it, or in some other manner actually ourselves to become good.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
It is not enough to win a war it is more important to organize the peace.

The avarice of mankind is insatiable.
Aristotle
We should venture on the study of every kind of animal without distaste for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful.
Aristotle
When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war
Aristotle
The brave man, if he be compared with the coward, seems foolhardy and, if with the foolhardy man, seems a coward.
Aristotle
The activity of happiness must occupy an entire lifetime for one swallow does not a summer make.
Aristotle
We are what we continually do.
Aristotle
