More quotes by Aristotle
The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
Aristotle
The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.
Aristotle
Of means of persuading by speaking there are three species: some consist in the character of the speaker others in the disposing the hearer a certain way others in the thing itself which is said, by reason of its proving, or appearing to prove the point.
Aristotle
But since there is but one aim for the entire state, it follows that education must be one and the same for all, and that the responsibility for it must be a public one, not the private affair which it now is, each man looking after his own children and teaching them privately whatever private curriculum he thinks they ought to study.
Aristotle
I was not alone when I was in Goofy hell
Aristotle
The only stable principle of government is equality according to proportion, and for every man to enjoy his own.
Aristotle
The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward.
Aristotle
Whether we will philosophize or we won't philosophize, we must philosophize.
Aristotle
The pleasures arising from thinking and learning will make us think and learn all the more. 1153a 23
Aristotle
The business of every art is to bring something into existence, and the practice of an art involves the study of how to bring into existence something which is capable of having such an existence and has its efficient cause in the maker and not in itself.
Aristotle
Well begun is half done.
Aristotle
For pleasure is a state of soul, and to each man that which he is said to be a lover of is pleasant.
Aristotle
Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
Aristotle
Youth should stay away from all evil, especially things that produce wickedness and ill-will.
Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
In practical matters the end is not mere speculative knowledge of what is to be done, but rather the doing of it. It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it, or to take any other steps that may make.
Aristotle
It is the active exercise of our faculties in conformity with virtue that causes happiness, and the opposite activities its opposite.
Aristotle
It has been well said that 'he who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.' The two are not the same, but the good citizen ought to be capable of both he should know how to govern like a freeman, and how to obey like a freeman - these are the virtues of a citizen.
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
