More quotes by Aristotle
Men become builders by building and lyreplayers by playing the lyre so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
Aristotle
Man by nature wants to know.
Aristotle
Opinion involves belief (for without belief in what we opine we cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often find imagination we never find belief.
Aristotle
All communication must lead to change
Aristotle
Whether we will philosophize or we won't philosophize, we must philosophize.
Aristotle
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
Law is mind without reason.
Aristotle
Youth loves honor and victory more than money.
Aristotle
A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself . . . with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.
Aristotle
You should never think without an image.
Aristotle
In justice is all virtues found in sum.
Aristotle
While fiction is often impossible, it should not be implausible.
Aristotle
Melancholy men of all others are most witty, which causeth many times a divine ravishment, and a kinde of Enthusiasmus, which stirreth them up to bee excellent Philosophers, Poets, Prophets, etc.
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
All men agree that a just distribution must be according to merit in some sense they do not all specify the same sort of merit, but democrats identify it with freemen, supporters of oligarchy with wealth (or noble birth), and supporters of aristocracy with excellence.
Aristotle
Bad people...are in conflict with themselves they desire one thing and will another, like the incontinent who choose harmful pleasures instead of what they themselves believe to be good.
Aristotle
It is a part of probability that many improbable things will happen.
Aristotle
I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy.
Aristotle
Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
