More quotes by Aristotle
The life of theoretical philosophy is the best and happiest a man can lead. Few men are capable of it and then only intermittently. For the rest there is a second-best way of life, that of moral virtue and practical wisdom.
Aristotle
The man who is content to live alone is either a beast or a god.
Aristotle
In all well-attempered governments there is nothing which should be more jealously maintained than the spirit of obedience to law, more especially in small matters for transgression creeps in unperceived and at last ruins the state, just as the constant recurrence of small expenses in time eats up a fortune.
Aristotle
Should a man live underground, and there converse with the works of art and mechanism, and should afterwards be brought up into the open day, and see the several glories of the heaven and earth, he would immediately pronounce them the work of such a Being as we define God to be.
Aristotle
Happiness is the highest good
Aristotle
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited.
Aristotle
Quid quid movetur ab alio movetur(nothing moves without having been moved).
Aristotle
Neglect of an effective birth control policy is a never-failing source of poverty which, in turn, is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
Those that deem politics beneath their dignity are doomed to be governed by those of lesser talents.
Aristotle
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
Aristotle
We, on the other hand, must take for granted that the things that exist by nature are, either all or some of them, in motion.
Aristotle
By 'life,' we mean a thing that can nourish itself and grow and decay.
Aristotle
People generally despise where they flatter.
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
Where the laws are not supreme, there demagogues spring up.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we can have what we want in the future
Aristotle
Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.
Aristotle
Adoration is made out of a solitary soul occupying two bodies.
Aristotle
A true disciple shows his appreciation by reaching further than his teacher.
Aristotle
Find the good. Seek the Unity. Ignore the divisions among us.
Aristotle
