More quotes by Aristotle
Anaximenes and Anaxagoras and Democritus say that its [the earth's] flatness is responsible for it staying still: for it does not cut the air beneath but covers it like a lid, which flat bodies evidently do: for they are hard to move even for the winds, on account of their resistance.
Aristotle
The good man is he for whom, because he is virtuous, the things that are absolutely good are good it is also plain that his use of these goods must be virtuous and in the absolute sense good.
Aristotle

Aristotle
A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility.
Aristotle

Aristotle
All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established.
Aristotle
If 'bounded by a surface' is the definition of body there cannot be an infinite body either intelligible or sensible.
Aristotle
A good man may make the best even of poverty and disease, and the other ills of life but he can only attain happiness under the opposite conditions
Aristotle
He is his own best friend and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude.
Aristotle
The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.
Aristotle
A city is composed of different kinds of men similar people cannot bring a city into existence.
Aristotle
The ultimate end...is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late.
Aristotle
