All ARISTOTLE Quotes about “Office”

“It is not easy for a person to do any great harm when his tenure of office is short, whereas long possession begets tyranny.”
“Once more: there are three offices according to whose directions the highest magistrates are chosen in certain states - guardians of the law, probuli, councilors - of these, the guardians of the law are an aristocratical, the probuli an oligarchical, the council a democratical institution.”
“Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.”
“Nowadays, for the sake of the advantage which is to be gained from the public revenues and from office, men want to be always in office.”
