More quotes by Aristotle
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
The vigorous are no better than the lazy during one half of life, for all men are alike when asleep.
Aristotle
Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.
Aristotle
There is a cropping-time in the races of men, as in the fruits of the field and sometimes, if the stock be good, there springs up for a time a succession of splendid men and then comes a period of barrenness.
Aristotle
The probable is what usually happens.
Aristotle
The ridiculous is produced by any defect that is unattended by pain, or fatal consequences thus, an ugly and deformed countenance does not fail to cause laughter, if it is not occasioned by pain.
Aristotle
What is common to many is least taken care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than what they possess in common with others.
Aristotle
People do not naturally become morally excellent or practically wise. They become so, if at all, only as the result of lifelong personal and community effort.
Aristotle
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
The society that loses its grip on the past is in danger, for it produces men who know nothing but the present, and who are not aware that life had been, and could be, different from what it is.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
Prayers and sacrifices are of no avail.
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
Man by nature wants to know.
Aristotle
The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasant things... and is led by his appetite to choose these at the cost of everything else.
Aristotle
But it is not at all certain that this superiority of the many over the sound few is possible in the case of every people and every large number. There are some whom it would be impossible: otherwise the theory would apply to wild animals- and yet some men are hardly any better than wild animals.
Aristotle
Yes the truth is that men's ambition and their desire to make money are among the most frequent causes of deliberate acts of injustice.
Aristotle
95% of everything you do is the result of habit.
Aristotle
When couples have children in excess, let abortion be procured before sense and life have begun what may or may not be lawfully done in these cases depends on the question of life and sensation.
Aristotle
