Quotes by Aristotle 1

A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility. A whole is that which has beginning, middle and end. Evil draws men together. It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences. Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite. Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms. Again, men in general desire the good, and not merely what their fathers had. Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god. Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals revolt that they may be superior. Man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all.

Quotes by Aristotle 2

A friend is a second self. A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one. All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind. All virtue is summed up in dealing justly. Bad men are full of repentance. Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age. Change in all things is sweet. Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them. Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity. Equality consists in the same treatment of similar persons. Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them. Friendship is essentially a partnership. Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy. Happiness depends upon ourselves. Happiness is a sort of action. Homer has taught all other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.

Quotes by Aristotle 3

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake. No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness. Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved. Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference. Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work. Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime. The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain. The complete is more than the sum of its pieces. The end of labor is to gain leisure. The gods too are fond of a joke. The good of man must be the end of the science of politics. The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons. The law is reason, free from passion. The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching. The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. The secret to humor is surprise. The soul never thinks without a picture.

Quotes by Aristotle 4

It is the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it. Law is order, and good law is good order. Man is by nature a political animal. Nature does nothing uselessly. That judges of important offices should hold office for life is not a good thing, for the mind grows old as well as the body. The basis of a democratic state is liberty. They should rule who are able to rule best. If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way. It is in justice that the ordering of society is centered. It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims. Melancholic men are of all others the most witty. Most people would rather give than get affection. The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom. The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal. To perceive is to suffer. What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do. Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love. Wit is educated insolence.

Quotes by Socrates 1

All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine. An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all. An honest man is always a child. As for me, all I know is that I know nothing. Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live. Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant. Beauty is a short-lived tyranny. Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind. Beware the barrenness of a busy life. Call no man unhappy until he is married. Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty. Death may be the greatest of all human blessings. Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others. Envy is the ulcer of the soul. Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds. Flattery is like friendship in show, but not in fruit. From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.

Quotes by Socrates 2

Let him that would move the world first move himself. May the outward and inward man be at one. My belief is that to have no wants is divine. Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued. Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us. Philosophy begins with wonder. Remember what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to speak of. See one promontory, one mountain, one sea, one river and see all. The fewer our wants, the nearer we resemble the gods. The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. The nearest way to glory is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be. The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. The poets are only the interpreters of the Gods. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat. To find yourself, think for yourself. True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

Jules Verne

It was a library. High pieces of furniture, of black violet ebony inlaid with brass, supported upon their wide shelves a great number of books uniformly bound. They followed the shape of the room, terminating at the lower part in huge divans, covered with brown leather, which were curved, to afford the greatest comfort. Light movable desks, made to slide in and out at will, allowed one to rest one's book while reading. In the centre stood an immense table, covered with pamphlets, amongst which were some newspapers, already of old date. The electric light flooded everything; it was shed from four unpolished globes half sunk in the volutes of the ceiling. I looked with real admiration at this room, so ingeniously fitted up, and I could scarcely believe my eyes.

Le Morte Darthur

And so the cry was made in England, Wales, and Scotland, Ireland,Cornwall, and in all the Out Isles, and in Brittany and in many countries; that at the feast of our Lady the Assumption next coming, men should come to the Castle Perilous beside the Isle of Avilion; and there all the knights that there came should have the choice whether them list to be on the one party with the knights of the castle, or on the other party with King Arthur. And two months was to the day that the tournament should be. And so there came many good knights that were at their large, and held them for the most part against King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table and came in the side of them of the castle. For Sir Epinogrus was the first, and he was the king's son of Northumberland, and Sir Palamides the Saracen was another, and Sir Safere his brother, and Sir Segwarides his brother, but they were christened, and Sir Malegrine another, and Sir Brian de les Isles, a noble knight, and Sir Grummore Grummursum, a good knight of Scotland, and Sir Carados of the dolorous tower, a noble knight, and Sir Turquine his brother, and Sir Arnold and Sir Gauter, two brethren, good knights of Cornwall.

Robert Louis Stevenson

'Here is a pretty state of things!said the traveller.Dying for a smoke; only one match left; and that certain to miss fire! Was there ever a creature so unfortunate? And yet,thought the traveller,suppose I light this match, and smoke my pipe, and shake out the dottle here in the grass - the grass might catch on fire, for it is dry like tinder; and while I snatch out the flames in front, they might evade and run behind me, and seize upon yon bush of poison oak; before I could reach it, that would have blazed up; over the bush I see a pine tree hung with moss; that too would fly in fire upon the instant to its topmost bough; and the flame of that long torch - how would the trade wind take and brandish that through the inflammable forest! I hear this dell roar in a moment with the joint voice of wind and fire, I see myself gallop for my soul, and the flying conflagration chase and outflank me through the hills; I see this pleasant forest burn for days, and the cattle roasted, and the springs dried up, and the farmer ruined, and his children cast upon the world.What a world hangs upon this moment!'

Rudyard Kipling

Then he jumped. The head was lying a little clear of the water jar, under the curve of it; and, as his teeth met, Rikki braced his back against the bulge of the red earthenware to hold down the head. This gave him just one second's purchase, and he made the most of it. Then he was battered to and fro as a rat is shaken by a dog to and fro on the floor, up and down, and around in great circles, but his eyes were red and he held on as the body cart-whipped over the floor, upsetting the tin dipper and the soap dish and the flesh brush, and banged against the tin side of the bath. As he held he closed his jaws tighter and tighter, for he made sure he would be banged to death, and, for the honor of his family, he preferred to be found with his teeth locked. He was dizzy, aching, and felt shaken to pieces when something went off like a thunderclap just behind him. A hot wind knocked him senseless and red fire singed his fur.
