More quotes by Aristotle
The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.
Aristotle
Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three.
Aristotle
Friendship is communion.
Aristotle
Youth loves honor and victory more than money.
Aristotle
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
Aristotle

Wit is cultured insolence.
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
Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.
Aristotle
Now it is evident that the form of government is best in which every man, whoever he is, can act best and live happily.
Aristotle
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle
The complete man must work, study and wrestle.
Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
The right constitutions, three in number- kingship, aristocracy, and polity- and the deviations from these, likewise three in number - tyranny from kingship, oligarchy from aristocracy, democracy from polity.
Aristotle
Therefore, even the lover of myth is a philosopher for myth is composed of wonder.
Aristotle
We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.
Aristotle
The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.
Aristotle
In the human species at all events there is a great diversity of pleasures. The same things delight some men and annoy others, and things painful and disgusting to some are pleasant and attractive to others.
Aristotle
