More quotes by Aristotle
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle
He who is by nature not his own but another's man is by nature a slave.
Aristotle
The soul is characterized by these capacities self-nutrition, sensation, thinking, and movement.
Aristotle
Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.
Aristotle
...The entire preoccupation of the physicist is with things that contain within themselves a principle of movement and rest.
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
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
Aristotle
To leave the number of births unrestricted, as is done in most states, inevitably causes poverty among the citizens, and poverty produces crime and faction.
Aristotle
In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.
Aristotle
Thus then a single harmony orders the composition of the whole...by the mingling of the most contrary principles.
Aristotle
Friendship also seems to be the bond that hold communities together.
Aristotle
...for all men do their acts with a view to achieving something which is, in their view, a good.
Aristotle
Hence both women and children must be educated with an eye to the constitution, if indeed it makes any difference to the virtue of a city-state that its children be virtuous, and its women too. And it must make a difference, since half the free population are women, and from children come those who participate in the constitution.
Aristotle
The soul suffers when the body is diseased or traumatized, while the body suffers when the soul is ailing.
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
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.
Aristotle
Nature does nothing in vain. Therefore, it is imperative for persons to act in accordance with their nature and develop their latent talents, in order to be content and complete.
Aristotle
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
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
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
