Top 100+ ARISTOTLE Quotes part 6 of 10

Aristotle (/ˈærɪstɒtəl/; Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs, pronounced [aristotélɛːs]; 384–322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Lyceum, the Peripatetic school of philosophy, and the Aristotelian tradition. His writings cover many subjects including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, esthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, and government.

Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. It was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion.

Aristotle's Quotes:

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."

"The fool tells me his reason;
the wise man persuades me with my own."

"The man who is truly good and wise will bear with dignity whatever fortune sends, and will always make the best of his circumstances."

"The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently;
but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live."

"The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain."

"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."

"The high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think."

"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."
