Aristotle Quotes:

Ocupation: Philosopher

Life: 384 BC - 322 BC

Birthday: 384 BC

Death: 322 BC

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.
