15 Quotes by Aristotle that will inspire you

03/27/2025 by

Today I am exploring some quotes by Aristotle.

Do you have your own personal philosophy, dear reader? Perhaps you have a sense of what’s important to you and what isn’t.

Maybe you have a set of values by which you live your life. Then again, perhaps this is something on which you continue to reflect.

That’s fine. However, if that is the case, I believe listening to the words of the great philosophers will help you.

There are many great philosophers, of course, but one man’s words worthy of your time would be those of Aristotle.

Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist believed to have been born around 384 BC.

I think the wisdom of the ancients offers us a lot in terms of the development of our own personal philosophy. All those quotes attributed to Aristotle provide us with much about which we can contemplate and reflect in relation to our own lives.

Here are 15 quotes by Aristotle to help you reflect and further develop your philosophy.
