Aristotle
Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Aristotle
 How many a dispute could have been deflated into a single paragraph if the disputants had dared to define their terms.

Aristotle
 Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.

Aristotle
 If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.

Aristotle
 It is in justice that the ordering of society is centered.

Aristotle

Aristotle
 Law is mind without reason.

Aristotle
 Man perfected by society is the best of all animals; he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice.

Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way... you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.

 One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.

Aristotle
Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

Aristotle
 Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
