here are some of the quotes of the man himself
the GOD of metaphysics Aristotle
The gods too are fond of a joke.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
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.
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.
I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.
Liars when they speak the truth are not believed.
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who overcomes his enemies.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way.
