Aristotle

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Thinking and being are determined by contradiction
The beginning is half of the whole

The educated person does not push accuracy further than is in keeping with the nature of the matter
Believing in achieving what one desires is always pleasurable

The king who loses the support of his citizens is no longer a king

A good person is not always a good citizen
A flatterer is a friend who is or pretends to be inferior to you
Pleasure in work makes the work excellent

One must prefer the impossible, which is probable, to the possible, which is unbelievable
Mothers are prouder of their children than fathers because they can be more certain that they are their own
Females are naturally lusty, copulating males and screaming during intercourse union

If love ruled on earth, all laws would be superfluous
The beginning of all wisdom is wonder
Mothers love their children more than fathers do because they can be sure that they are theirs
