More quotes by Aristotle
We work to earn our leisure.
Aristotle
Justice therefore demands that no one should do more ruling than being ruled, but that all should have their turn.
Aristotle
If you see a man approaching with the obvious intent of doing you good, run for your life. Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
The beginning, as the proverb says, is half the whole.
Aristotle
The so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles of mathematics were the principles of all things.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
Pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible.
Aristotle
We ought, so far as it lies within our power, to aspire to immortality, and do all that we can to live in conformity with the highest that is within us for even if it is small in quantity, in power and preciousness, it far excels all the rest.
Aristotle
If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much. But indeed there is always a difficulty in men living together and having all human relations in common, but especially in their having common property.
Aristotle
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle
Irrational passions would seem to be as much a part of human nature as is reason.
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
You should never think without an image.
Aristotle
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.
Aristotle
Bad people...are in conflict with themselves they desire one thing and will another, like the incontinent who choose harmful pleasures instead of what they themselves believe to be good.
Aristotle
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
Aristotle
The hardest victory is the victory over self.
Aristotle
Either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
Wit is well-bred insolence.
Aristotle
Meanness is incurable it cannot be cured by old age, or by anything else.
Aristotle
