More quotes by Aristotle

The wise man must not be ordered but must order, and he must not obey another, but the less wise must obey him.

The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.

When people are friends, they have no need of justice, but when they are just, they need friendship in addition.
