More quotes by Aristotle
Character gives us qualities, but it is in our actions — what we do — that we are happy or the reverse.
Aristotle
Time is the measurable unit of movement concerning a before and an after.
Aristotle
People never know each other until they have eaten a certain amount of salt together.
Aristotle
There is simple ignorance, which is the source of lighter offenses, and double ignorance, which is accompanied by a conceit of wisdom.
Aristotle
It is our actions and the soul's active exercise of its functions that we posit (as being Happiness).
Aristotle
The good of man is the active exercise of his soul's faculties. This exercise must occupy a complete lifetime. One swallow does make a spring, nor does one fine day. Excellence is a habit, not an event.
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
... a science must deal with a subject and its properties.
Aristotle
The proof that you know something is that you are able to teach it
Aristotle
It is more difficult to organize a peace than to win a war but the fruits of victory will be lost if the peace is not organized.
Aristotle
Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.
Aristotle
If happiness, then, is activity expressing virtue, it is reasonable for it to express the supreme virtue, which will be the virtueof the best thing.
Aristotle
A thing chosen always as an end and never as a means we call absolutely final. Now happiness above all else appears to be absolutely final in this sense, since we always choose it for its own sake and never as a means to something else.
Aristotle
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
One can aim at honor both as one ought, and more than one ought, and less than one ought. He whose craving for honor is excessive is said to be ambitious, and he who is deficient in this respect unambitious while he who observes the mean has no peculiar name.
Aristotle
We should venture on the study of every kind of animal without distaste for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful.
Aristotle
Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyranny.
Aristotle
It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.
Aristotle
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Aristotle
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
