Aristotle, Plato and Socrates are three outstanding figures in ancient Greece. They laid the foundation of western culture, developed systematic philosophical thoughts from it, wrote them into books and spread them to the world through education.

Aristotle studied all his life. In order to discover the truth, he initiated logic and metaphysics, leaving many famous sayings and aphorisms, each of which is worth studying and thinking about.

About happiness

Living according to moral standards is a happy life.

Happiness belongs to the contented.

Happiness is the best.

Happiness lies in self-sufficiency.

Happiness comes from ourselves.

About life

Life is full of opportunities and changes. When people are most proud, misfortune comes.

The ultimate value of life lies in thinking and awakening, not just in survival.

About friends

In misfortune, useful friends are more necessary; Luck, noble friends are more necessary; In misfortune, it is necessary to find friends; It is noble to find friends in luck.

Birds with the same feathers will get together.

A true friend is the soul of two people.

About thinking

There are many kinds of fallacies, but there is only one truth; This is why failure is easier than success, and missing the target is easier than hitting the target.

Anyone who is good at thinking must be a person who can pursue something useful through his thinking, whether it is beneficial to himself or to mankind.

What God does is better than all imaginary happy behaviors, and nothing is better than essential thinking; The closest thing to this kind of happiness in human behavior is the activity related to thinking.

About virtue and wisdom

We just know that virtue is not enough. We should cultivate it, use it and make us good people in various ways.

True virtue cannot be without wisdom, and true wisdom cannot be without virtue.

Virtue can be divided into two kinds: one is the virtue of wisdom, and the other is the virtue of behavior. The former comes from learning, while the latter comes from practice.

Wisdom exists not only in knowledge, but also in its application.

About law and society

The law is rational and has no passion.

Man is a natural gregarious animal.

Man is the most perfect animal among all animals when he reaches the extreme of virtue, but if he goes his own way without law and justice, he is the worst animal among all animals.

Politics does not create human beings, but it separates human beings from nature and controls them.

Law is order, and good law is good order.

Aristotle is one of the greatest figures in the history of philosophy and an all-rounder who has written many works in many fields: logic, rhetoric, poetry, physics, botany, zoology, psychology, ethics, politics and metaphysics.

For more than two thousand years after Aristotle's death, philosophers have been making footnotes for Aristotle in the fields of philosophy and science, although a hundred flowers blossom and each has its own merits. Aristotle followed Plato in studying and teaching courses in colleges for twenty years. Although his thoughts inherited Plato and Socrates, it is undeniable that he and his teachers are making footnotes for Socrates.
