Text Quotes
In constructing the plot and working it out with the proper diction, the poet should place the scene, as far as possible, before his eyes. In this way, seeing everything with the utmost vividness, as if he were a spectator of the action, he will discover what is in keeping with it, and be most unlikely to overlook inconsistencies. (Aristotle Quotes)
The happy life is thought to be one of excellence; now an excellent life requires exertion, and does not consist in amusement. If Eudaimonia, or happiness, is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence; and this will be that of the best thing in us. (Aristotle Quotes)
It is the active exercise of our faculties in conformity with virtue that causes happiness, and the opposite activities its opposite. (Aristotle Quotes)

For we do not think that we know a thing until we are acquainted with its primary conditions or first principles, and have carried our analysis as far as its simplest elements. (Aristotle Quotes)
In the many forms of government which have sprung up there has always been an acknowledgement of justice and proportionate equality, although mankind fail in attaining them, as indeed I have already explained. Democracy, for example, 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 Quotes)
A government which is composed of the middle class more nearly approximates to democracy than to oligarchy, and is the safest of the imperfect forms of government. (Aristotle Quotes)
In the arena of human life the honors and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities in action. (Aristotle Quotes)
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man. (Aristotle Quotes)

In the perfect state the good man is absolutely the same as the good citizen; whereas in other states the good citizen is only good relatively to his own form of government. (Aristotle Quotes)

In the human species at all events there is a great diversity of pleasures. The same things delight some men and annoy others, and things painful and disgusting to some are pleasant and attractive to others. (Aristotle Quotes)
Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form; oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three. (Aristotle Quotes)
The high-minded man does not bear grudges, for it is not the mark of a great soul to remember injuries, but to forget them. (Aristotle Quotes)
For the lesser evil is reckoned a good in comparison with the greater evil, since the lesser evil is rather to be chosen than the greater. . (Aristotle Quotes)
He who thus considers things in their first growth and origin ... will obtain the clearest view of them. (Aristotle Quotes)
If something’s bound to happen, it will happen.. Right time, right person, and for the best reason. (Aristotle Quotes)
