More quotes by Aristotle
The proof that you know something is that you are able to teach it
Aristotle
We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle
And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action. And happiness is thought to depend on leisure for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
The pleasures arising from thinking and learning will make us think and learn all the more. 1153a 23
Aristotle
Some believe it to be just friends wanting, as if to be healthy enough to wish health.
Aristotle
The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.
Aristotle
The form of government is a democracy when the free, who are also poor and the majority, govern, and an oligarchy when the rich and the noble govern, they being at the same time few in number.
Aristotle
1 is not prime, by definition. 2 is an unnatural prime, 4 is an unnatural prime, and 6 is an unnatural prime. All other natural primes cannot be unnatural primes.
Aristotle
One can aim at honor both as one ought, and more than one ought, and less than one ought. He whose craving for honor is excessive is said to be ambitious, and he who is deficient in this respect unambitious while he who observes the mean has no peculiar name.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
We must not feel a childish disgust at the investigations of the meaner animals. For there is something marvelous in all natural things.
Aristotle
For the real difference between humans and other animals is that humans alone have perception of good and evil, just and unjust, etc. It is the sharing of a common view in these matters that makes a household and a state.
Aristotle
Men pay most attention to what is their own: they care less for what is common or, at any rate, they care for it only to the extent to which each is individually concerned.
Aristotle
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Aristotle
Character is revealed through action.
Aristotle
In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead.
Aristotle
No one finds fault with defects which are the result of nature.
Aristotle
When we look at the matter from another point of view, great caution would seem to be required. For the habit of lightly changing the laws is an evil, and, when the advantage is small, some errors both of lawgivers and rulers had better be left the citizen will not gain so much by making the change as he will lose by the habit of disobedience.
Aristotle
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Aristotle
Happiness is a thing honored and perfect. This seems to be borne out by the fact that it is a first principle or starting-point, since all other things that all men do are done for its sake and that which is the first principle and cause of things good we agree to be something honorable and divine.
Aristotle
