Notable quotes: Aristotle on praise and blame

Turns out that what I have been calling critical blame is Aristotelian:  

"Fine things are the objects of praise, base things of blame; and at the head of the fine stand the virtues, at the head of the base the vices; consequently the virtues are objects of praise, and also the causes of the virtues are objects of praise, and the things that accompany the virtues and that result from them, and their works, while the opposite are the objects of blame."
