More quotes by Aristotle
Nothing is what rocks dream about
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
So it is clear that the search for what is just is a search for the mean for the law is the mean.
Aristotle
The science that studies the supreme good for man is politics.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Also, that which is desirable in itself is more desirable than what is desirable per accidens.
Aristotle
In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion second, the language third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
Aristotle
To be angry is easy. But to be angry with the right man at the right time and in the right manner, that is not easy.
Aristotle
The man who confers a favour would rather not be repaid in the same coin.
Aristotle
The greatest crimes are caused by surfeit, not by want.
Aristotle
Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.
Aristotle
For what one has to learn to do, we learn by doing.
Aristotle
Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile?
Aristotle
A good style must, first of all, be clear. It must not be mean or above the dignity of the subject. It must be appropriate.
Aristotle
Life cannot be lived, and understood, simultaneously.
Aristotle
The hand is the tool of tools.
Aristotle
