  • The avarice of mankind is insatiable.

    Aristotle (2016). “Politics”, p.58, Aristotle
  • Both Self-restraint and Unrestraint are a matter of extremes as compared with the character of the mass of mankind; the restrained man shows more and the unrestrained man less steadfastness than most men are capable of.

    Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.188, Wordsworth Editions
  • All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth.

    Socrates, Plato, Aristotle (1967). “Wit and Wisdom of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle: Being a Treasury of Thousands of Glorious, Inspiring and Imperishable Thoughts, Views and Observations of the Three Great Greek Philosophers, Classified Under about Four Hundred Subjects for Comparative Study”
  • The majority of mankind would seem to be beguiled into error by pleasure, which, not being really a good, yet seems to be so. So that they indiscriminately choose as good whatsoever gives them pleasure, while they avoid all pain alike as evil.

    Aristotle (1869). “The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle”, p.74
  • Nor need it cause surprise that things disagreeable to the good man should seem pleasant to some men; for mankind is liable to many corruptions and diseases, and the things in question are not really pleasant, but only pleasant to these particular persons, who are in a condition to think them so.

    Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.271, Wordsworth Editions
  • The male has more teeth than the female in mankind, and sheep and goats, and swine. This has not been observed in other animals. Those persons which have the greatest number of teeth are the longest lived; those which have them widely separated, smaller, and more scattered, are generally more short lived.

    Aristotle, Johann Gottlob Schneider (1862). “Aristotle's History of Animals: In Ten Books”, p.31
  • The avarice of mankind is insatiable; at one time two obols was pay enough; but now, when this sum has become customary, men always want more and more without end.

    Aristotle (2016). “Politics”, p.58, Aristotle
  • It is not the possessions but the desires of mankind which require to be equalized.

    Aristotle (2016). “Politics”, p.57, Aristotle
  • Most men appear to think that the art of despotic government is statesmanship, and what men affirm to be unjust and inexpedient in their own case they are not ashamed of practicing towards others; they demand just rule for themselves, but where other men are concerned they care nothing about it. Such behavior is irrational; unless the one party is, and the other is not, born to serve, in which case men have a right to command, not indeed all their fellows, but only those who are intended to be subjects; just as we ought not to hunt mankind, whether for food or sacrifice . .

  • So it is naturally with the male and the female; the one is superior, the other inferior; the one governs, the other is governed; and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind.

    Aristotle (1853). “The Politics and Economics of Aristotle”
  • Again, the male is by nature superior, and the female inferior; and the one rules, and the other is ruled; this principle, of necessity, extends to all mankind.

    Aristotle (2013). “The Essential Aristotle”, p.232, Simon and Schuster
  • That education should be regulated by law and should be an affair of state is not to be denied, but what should be the character of this public education, and how young persons should be educated, are questions which remain to be considered. As things are, there is disagreement about the subjects. For mankind are by no means agreed about the things to be taught, whether we look to virtue or the best life. Neither is it clear whether education is more concerned with intellectual or with moral virtue.

    Aristotle (2016). “Pocket Aristotle”, p.320, Simon and Schuster
  • In the many forms of government which have sprung up there has always been an acknowledgement of justice and proportionate equality, although mankind fail in attaining them, as indeed I have already explained. Democracy, for example, arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

    Aristotle, Stephen Everson (1996). “Aristotle: The Politics and the Constitution of Athens”, p.120, Cambridge University Press
  • [Meanness] is more ingrained in man's nature than Prodigality; the mass of mankind are avaricious rather than open-handed.

  • The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts.

    Aristotle, (2014). “Complete Works of Aristotle, Volume 2: The Revised Oxford Translation”, p.1731, Princeton University Press
  • Of mankind in general, the parts are greater than the whole.
