 Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them.
Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
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.
Aristotle
To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Aristotle
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.
Aristotle
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
Aristotle
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.
Aristotle
It is ridiculous to lay the blame of our wrong actions upon external causes, rather than on the facility with which we ourselves are caught by such causes.
Aristotle
The bad man is continually at war with, and in opposition to, himself.
Aristotle
