Aristotle

We have no evidence as yet about mind or the power to think; it seems to be a widely different kind of soul, differing as what is eternal from what is perishable; it alone is capable of existence in isolation from all other psychic powers.

Aristotle

We must as a second best, as people say, take the least of the evils.

Aristotle

We must be neither cowardly nor rash but courageous.

Aristotle

We physicists, on the other hand, must take for granted that the things that exist by nature are, either all or some of them, in motion-which is indeed made plain by induction.

Aristotle

We should aim rather at leveling down our desires than leveling up our means.

Aristotle

What affirmation and denial are in the case of thinking, pursuit and avoidance are in the case of longing for something.

Aristotle

Aristotle

What is the Good for man? It must be the ultimate end or object of human life: something that is in itself completely satisfying. Happiness fits this description… we always choose it for itself, and never for any other reason.

Aristotle

Aristotle

When the storytelling goes bad in a society, the result is decadence.
