More quotes by Aristotle
We may assume the superiority ceteris paribus of the demonstration which derives from fewer postulates or hypotheses - in short, from fewer premises.
Aristotle
Everybody loves a thing more if it has cost him trouble: for instance those who have made money love money more than those who have inherited it.
Aristotle
The basis of a democratic state is liberty
Aristotle
Selfishness doesn't consist in a love to yourself, but in a big degree of such love.
Aristotle
Patience s bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
Aristotle
It is a part of probability that many improbable things will happen.
Aristotle
[Prudence] is the virtue of that part of the intellect [the calculative] to which it belongs and . . . our choice of actions will not be right without Prudence any more than without Moral Virtue, since, while Moral Virtue enables us to achieve the end, Prudence makes us adopt the right means to the end.
Aristotle
It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way.
Aristotle
Also, that which is desirable in itself is more desirable than what is desirable per accidens.
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
...in this way the structure of the universe- I mean, of the heavens and the earth and the whole world- was arranged by one harmony through the blending of the most opposite principles.
Aristotle
That rule is the better which is exercised over better subjects.
Aristotle
So the good has been well explained as that at which all things aim.
Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
Aristotle
The bad man is continually at war with, and in opposition to, himself.
Aristotle
When Pleasure is at the bar the jury is not impartial.
Aristotle
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
If things do not turn out as we wish, we should wish for them as they turn out.
Aristotle
Why is it that all men who are outstanding in philosophy, poetry or the arts are melancholic?
Aristotle
But the whole vital process of the earth takes place so gradually and in periods of time which are so immense compared with the length of our life, that these changes are not observed, and before their course can be recorded from beginning to end whole nations perish and are destroyed.
Aristotle
