This is not exactly Aristotle, but it might have been written by Aesop. Applies to certain contentious poster(s) who make a habit of insulting and flying off the handle: Parable of the Fly There was a fly buzzing around a barn one day when he happened on a pile of fresh cow manure. Because the fly had not eaten for a few hours since his last meal, he flew down and began to eat. He ate and ate and ate. Finally, he decided he had eaten enough and tried to fly away. He had eaten too much though, and could not get off the ground. As he looked around, wondering what to do, he spotted a pitchfork leaning against the wall. He climbed to the top of the handle and jumped off, thinking that once he got airborne he would be able to take flight. Unfortunately, he was wrong. He dropped like a rock, splattering against the floor. The moral to the story: Never fly off the handle when you know you're full of shit.
