Of these, Sensation never originates action, as is shown by the fact that animals have sensation but are not capable of action.
Aristotle

Aristotle
Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
Aristotle
While fiction is often impossible, it should not be implausible.

When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficing, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
Aristotle
That rule is the better which is exercised over better subjects.
Aristotle
