More quotes by Aristotle

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
In all things which have a plurality of parts, and which are not a total aggregate but a whole of some sort distinct from the parts, there is some cause.
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
You can never learn anything that you did not already know
Aristotle
The guest will judge better of a feast than the cook
Aristotle
Equality consists in the same treatment of similar persons.
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.

A man who examines each subject from a philosophical standpoint cannot neglect them: he has to omit nothing, and state the truth about each topic.
Aristotle
