 4 15|        to be it is in general better than not to be it, or such
 5 15|   some cases, not to be it is better than to be it. But I here
 6 15|      anything is, in general, better than not to be it; as to
 7 15|       be it; as to be wise is better than not to be so; that
 8 15|      to be so; that is, it is better to be wise than not to be
 9 15|     not wise, is apparently a better man than one who is wise,
10 15|    taken by itself, it is not better not to be wise than to be
11 15|     that is not wise would be better if it were wise. In the
12 15|      to be true is altogether better than not to be so, that

23 15|       is not it is in any way better, it must be true that this
24 15|      whatever is, in general, better than what is not it. For,
25 15|   than which there is nothing better at all, and which is better
26 15|   better at all, and which is better than all things, which are
27 15|      these there is something better, which is not what they
