The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument or follow a long chain of reasoning.
Aristotle

More quotes by Aristotle
The aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought....The little human animal will not at first have the right responses. It must be trained to feel pleasure, liking, disgust, and hatred at those things which really are pleasant, likable, disgusting, and hateful.
Aristotle
[Prudence] is the virtue of that part of the intellect [the calculative] to which it belongs and . . . our choice of actions will not be right without Prudence any more than without Moral Virtue, since, while Moral Virtue enables us to achieve the end, Prudence makes us adopt the right means to the end.
Aristotle
The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle
A friend to all is a friend to none.
Aristotle
A whole is that which has a beginning, a middle and an end.
Aristotle
Friendship is communion.
Aristotle
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
Not to know of what things one should demand demonstration, and of what one should not, argues want of education.
Aristotle
Happiness, whether consisting in pleasure or virtue, or both, is more often found with those who are highly cultivated in their minds and in their character, and have only a moderate share of external goods, than among those who possess external goods to a useless extent but are deficient in higher qualities.
Aristotle
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
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
Neither old people nor sour people seem to make friends easily for there is little that is pleasant in them.
Aristotle
The structural unity of the parts is such that, if any one of them is displaced or removed, the whole will be disjointed and disturbed. For a thing whose presence or absence makes no visible difference is not an organic part of the whole.
Aristotle
95% of everything you do is the result of habit.
Aristotle
So we must lay it down that the association which is a state exists not for the purpose of living together but for the sake of noble actions.
Aristotle
Speeches are like babies-easy to conceive but hard to deliver.
Aristotle
Happiness depends on ourselves.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way.
Aristotle
The souls ability to nourish itself lies in the heart.
Aristotle
