More quotes by Aristotle

"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side."
"Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well."
"A friend to all is a friend to none."
"The gods too are fond of a joke."
"Perfect friendship is the friendship of men who are good, and alike in excellence; for these wish well alike to each other qua good, and they are good in themselves."
