More quotes by Aristotle
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
Aristotle
It is better for a city to be governed by a good man than by good laws.
Aristotle
Law is mind without reason.
Aristotle
Of old, the demagogue was also a general, and then democracies changed into tyrannies. Most of the ancient tyrants were originally demagogues. They are not so now, but they were then and the reason is that they were generals and not orators, for oratory had not yet come into fashion.
Aristotle
Everybody loves a thing more if it has cost him trouble: for instance those who have made money love money more than those who have inherited it.
Aristotle
We are what we continually do.
Aristotle
Nothing in life is more necessary than friendship.
Aristotle
We must not feel a childish disgust at the investigations of the meaner animals. For there is something marvelous in all natural things.
Aristotle
Metaphor is halfway between the unintelligible and the commonplace.
Aristotle
It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want.
Aristotle
The man who confers a favour would rather not be repaid in the same coin.
Aristotle
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Aristotle
Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.
Aristotle
It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.
Aristotle
Victory is plesant, not only to those who love to conquer, bot to all for there is produced an idea of superiority, which all with more or less eagerness desire.
Aristotle
In most constitutional states the citizens rule and are ruled by turns, for the idea of a constitutional state implies that the natures of the citizens are equal, and do not differ at all.
Aristotle
When the citizens at large administer the state for the common interest, the government is called by the generic name - a constitution.
Aristotle
Whether we call it sacrifice, or poetry, or adventure, it is always the same voice that calls.
Aristotle
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
Aristotle
Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are of the nature rather of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.
Aristotle
