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 He who can be, and therefore is, another's, and he who participates in reason enough to apprehend, but not to have, is a slave by nature. Aristotle |
