More quotes by Aristotle
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.
Aristotle
A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility.
Aristotle
When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war
Aristotle
Friends hold a mirror up to each other through that mirror they can see each other in ways that would not otherwise be accessible to them, and it is this mirroring that helps them improve themselves as persons.
Aristotle
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
Youth loves honor and victory more than money.
Aristotle
To be always seeking after the useful does not become free and exalted souls.
Aristotle
It is not easy for a person to do any great harm when his tenure of office is short, whereas long possession begets tyranny.
Aristotle
The many are more incorruptible than the few they are like the greater quantity of water which is less easily corrupted than a little.
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
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. As in other sciences, so in politics, it is impossible that all things should be precisely set down in writing for enactments must be universal, but actions are concerned with particulars. Hence we infer that sometimes and in certain cases laws may be changed.
Aristotle
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
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
Everyone honors the wise.
Aristotle
If something's bound to happen, it will happen.. Right time, right person, and for the best reason.
Aristotle
In a word, acts of any kind produce habits or characters of the same kind. Hence we ought to make sure that our acts are of a certain kind for the resulting character varies as they vary. It makes no small difference, therefore, whether a man be trained in his youth up in this way or that, but a great difference, or rather all the difference.
Aristotle
Imagination is a sort of faint perception.
Aristotle
That body is heavier than another which, in an equal bulk, moves downward quicker.
Aristotle
Some believe it to be just friends wanting, as if to be healthy enough to wish health.
Aristotle
The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.
Aristotle
