Aristotle

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher in the 4th century BC.

In 2285, James T. Kirk responded to Saavik's observation that humor was a difficult and illogical concept by referencing a quote attributed to Aristotle: "We learn by doing." 

In 2374, the Leonardo da Vinci-hologram said that even if Aristotle himself lectured him until exhaustion, he could not grasp the 24th century world with his 16th century knowledge. 

Later that year, the USS Voyager encountered the fraudulent starship USS Dauntless. The ship had been altered to closely resemble a Starfleet creation, even including a Starfleet dedication plaque. The plaque quoted Aristotle: "Hope is a waking dream."
