Aristotle Quotes
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8



Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.
Aristotle

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Aristotle

Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.
Aristotle

Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.
Aristotle

Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life and forms of government.
Aristotle

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
Aristotle

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Aristotle

Education is the best provision for old age.
Aristotle

Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.
Aristotle

Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
Aristotle


Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle

Excellence, then, is a state concerned with choice, lying in a mean, relative to us, this being determined by reason and in the way in which the man of practical wisdom would determine it.
Aristotle

Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
Aristotle

For as the eyes of bats are to the blaze of day, so is the reason in our soul to the things which are by nature most evident of all.
Aristotle

For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day; and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
Aristotle

For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.
Aristotle

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle

Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle

Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.
Aristotle

Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle
