Aristotle Quotes.


  • The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
  • It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
  • Happiness depends upon ourselves.
  • The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
  • You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
  • We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
  • We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
  • There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
  • In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
  • At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.
  • If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
  • Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
  • A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
  • Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.
