Philosophical Quotes - Aristotle · Societat de Motivació Filosòfica de Louisville
Selected quotes and readings from the works of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 B.C. - 322 B.C.) A student of Plato, Aristotle's thought underpinned much medieval discourse and the foundations of the our current world, along with many elements of modern science.

...for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful."
"It is impossible for motion to subsist without place, and void, and time."
"Knowledge of the fact differs from knowledge of the reason for the fact."
"The bodies of which the world is composed are solids, and therefore...
...have three dimensions. Now, three is the most perfect number.
It is the first of numbers, for of one we do not speak as a number...
...of two we say both, but three is the first number of which we say all.
Moreover, it has a beginning, a middle, and an end."
"Nature flies from the infinite, for the infinite is unending or imperfect...
...and Nature ever seeks an end."
"Anybody can become angry, that is easy.
But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree...
...at the right time, and in the right way, is not easy."
"Our characters are the result of our conduct."
"One swallow does not a summer make."
