  1   I,  1  |        from the actions, it is the nature of the products to be better
  2   I,  2  |     politics appears to be of this nature; for it is this that ordains
  3   I,  3  |          by convention, and not by nature. And goods also give rise
  4   I,  3  |          things just so far as the nature of the subject admits; it
  5   I,  6  |        i.e. substance, is prior in nature to the relative (for the
  6   I,  8  |           because these are not by nature pleasant, but the lovers
  7   I,  8  |    pleasant the things that are by nature pleasant; and virtuous actions
  8   I,  8  |            as well as in their own nature. Their life, therefore,
  9   I,  9  |           depends on the action of nature is by nature as good as
 10   I,  9  |         the action of nature is by nature as good as it can be, and
 11   I,  13 |       virtue, we must consider the nature of virtue; for perhaps we
 12   I,  13 |          shall thus see better the nature of happiness. The true student
 13   I,  13 |      distinct by definition but by nature inseparable, like convex
 14   I,  13 | distributed, and vegetative in its nature, I mean that which causes
 15   I,  13 |         alone, since it has by its nature no share in human excellence.~
 16  II,  1  |            virtues arises in us by nature; for nothing that exists
 17  II,  1  |         for nothing that exists by nature can form a habit contrary
 18  II,  1  |            a habit contrary to its nature. For instance the stone
 19  II,  1  |        instance the stone which by nature moves downwards cannot be
 20  II,  1  |          can anything else that by nature behaves in one way be trained
 21  II,  1  |      behave in another. Neither by nature, then, nor contrary to nature
 22  II,  1  |      nature, then, nor contrary to nature do the virtues arise in
 23  II,  1  |           rather we are adapted by nature to receive them, and are
 24  II,  1  |          things that come to us by nature we first acquire the potentiality
 25  II,  2  |          use), we must examine the nature of actions, namely how we
 26  II,  2  |           these determine also the nature of the states of character
 27  II,  2  |      general account being of this nature, the account of particular
 28  II,  2  |         present account is of this nature we must give what help we
 29  II,  2  |      consider this, that it is the nature of such things to be destroyed
 30  II,  3  |        kind of cure, and it is the nature of cures to be effected
 31  II,  3  |          every state of soul has a nature relative to and concerned
 32  II,  5  |           we have the faculties by nature, but we are not made good
 33  II,  5  |            not made good or bad by nature; we have spoken of this
 34  II,  6  |      consideration of the specific nature of virtue. In everything
 35  II,  6  |            better than any art, as nature also is, then virtue must

 37 III,  1  |            which overstrains human nature and which no one could withstand.
 38 III,  1  |      therefore, to determine their nature and number. A man may be
 39 III,  3  |         whether of necessity or by nature or from any other cause,
 40 III,  3  |          in fact what is left. For nature, necessity, and chance are
 41 III,  3  |            outline, and stated the nature of its objects and the fact
 42 III,  5  |       blames those who are ugly by nature, we blame those who are
 43 III,  5  |          and he is well endowed by nature who is well endowed with
 44 III,  5  |            appears and is fixed by nature or however it may be, and
 45 III,  5  |        Whether, then, it is not by nature that the end appears to
 46 III,  5  |        they tend, and by their own nature, to the doing of the acts
 47 III,  8  |         the others do not know the nature of the facts. Again, their
 48 III,  9  |         not difficult to grasp its nature in outline, at any rate,
 49 III,  12 |            upsets and destroys the nature of the person who feels
 50  IV,  1  |         for himself; for it is the nature of a liberal man not to
 51   V,  2  |          which shares the name and nature of the first, because its
 52   V,  4  |          to go to justice; for the nature of the judge is to be a
 53   V,  5  |           because it exists not by nature but by law (nomos) and it
 54   V,  5  |       excess of what is in its own nature useful and defect of what
 55   V,  5  |        taken as our account of the nature of justice and injustice,
 56   V,  7  |           because that which is by nature is unchangeable and has
 57   V,  7  |     something that is just even by nature, yet all of it is changeable;
 58   V,  7  |   changeable; but still some is by nature, some not by nature. It
 59   V,  7  |          is by nature, some not by nature. It is evident which sort
 60   V,  7  |          of being otherwise, is by nature, and which is not but is
 61   V,  7  |         distinction will apply; by nature the right hand is stronger,
 62   V,  7  |       things which are just not by nature but by human enactment are
 63   V,  7  |         one which is everywhere by nature the best. Of things just
 64   V,  7  |           for a thing is unjust by nature or by enactment; and this
 65   V,  7  |      separately with regard to the nature and number of its species
 66   V,  7  |      number of its species and the nature of the things with which
 67   V,  10 |          the legislator but in the nature of the thing, since the
 68   V,  10 |         statement. And this is the nature of the equitable, a correction
 69  VI,  1  |           rule, let us discuss the nature of these dictates. In all
 70  VI,  4  |           are different (for their nature we treat even the discussions
 71  VI,  4  |           do so in accordance with nature (since these have their
 72  VI,  7  |          much more divine in their nature even than man, e.g., most
 73  VI,  7  |         things that are highest by nature. This is why we say Anaxagoras,
 74  VI,  8  |        thing to be done is of this nature. It is opposed, then, to
 75  VI,  9  |           thing. We must grasp the nature of excellence in deliberation
 76  VI,  11 |     thought to be a philosopher by nature, people are thought to have
 77  VI,  11 |      people are thought to have by nature judgement, understanding,
 78  VI,  11 |       judgement; this implies that nature is the cause. (Hence intuitive
 79  VI,  12 |        best, is of such and such a nature", whatever it may be (let
 80  VI,  13 |        possessors in some sense by nature; for from the very moment
 81  VI,  13 |            is not best equipped by nature for all the virtues, so
 82 VII,  3  |    reference to the facts of human nature. The one opinion is universal,
 83 VII,  4  |        some pleasant things are by nature worthy of choice, while
 84 VII,  4  |         because each of them is by nature a thing worthy of choice
 85 VII,  5  |        Some things are pleasant by nature, and of these (a) some are
 86 VII,  5  |         others are not pleasant by nature, but (a) some of them become
 87 VII,  5  |         for these arise in some by nature and in others, as in those
 88 VII,  5  |           habit.~Now those in whom nature is the cause of such a state
 89 VII,  5  |          morbid; the man who is by nature apt to fear everything,
 90 VII,  5  |        foolish people those who by nature are thoughtless and live
 91 VII,  6  |        warmth and hastiness of its nature, though it hears, does not
 92 VII,  6  |         itself-it is open; but the nature of appetite is illustrated
 93 VII,  10 |         habit than to change one’s nature; even habit is hard to change
 94 VII,  10 |            just because it is like nature, as Evenus says:~I say that
 95 VII,  10 |             And this becomes men’s nature in the end.~ ~We have now
 96 VII,  12 |           so much of our state and nature as has remained unimpaired;
 97 VII,  12 |       those of contemplation), the nature in such a case not being
 98 VII,  12 |        pleasant objects when their nature is in its settled state
 99 VII,  12 |        which is pleasant either by nature or without qualification.
100 VII,  12 |            the perfecting of their nature. This is why it is not right
101 VII,  12 |          is these that are of this nature) and the excesses of them,
102 VII,  13 |       peoples...~ But since no one nature or state either is or is
103 VII,  13 |             for all things have by nature something divine in them.~
104 VII,  14 |          meant to cure a defective nature, and it is better to be
105 VII,  14 |            people because of their nature. For the animal nature is
106 VII,  14 |       their nature. For the animal nature is always in travail, as
107 VII,  14 |           hand people of excitable nature always need relief; for
108 VII,  14 |       among the things pleasant by nature and not incidentally. By
109 VII,  14 |          the action of the healthy nature.~There is no one thing that
110 VII,  14 |       always pleasant, because our nature is not simple but there
111 VII,  14 |          is unnatural to the other nature, and when the two elements
112 VII,  14 |           nor pleasant; for if the nature of anything were simple,
113 VII,  14 |         that is changeable, so the nature that needs change is vicious;
114 VIII,  1 |             Again, parent seems by nature to feel it for offspring
115 VIII,  3 |           do this by reason of own nature and not incidentally; therefore
116 VIII,  3 |            belong in virtue of the nature of the friends themselves;
117 VIII,  5 |             or not pleasant, since nature seems above all to avoid
118 VIII,  6 |          of feeling, and it is the nature of such only to be felt
119 VIII,  8 |         aim at contrary by its own nature, but only incidentally,
120 VIII,  11|     ancestors as well. Further, by nature a father tends to rule over
121 VIII,  12|       friendship seems to exist by nature; for man is naturally inclined
122 VIII,  14|         father and son it is human nature not to reject a son’s assistance.
123  IX,  1  |     complained of (for that is the nature of the friendship of virtue),
124  IX,  7  |         but it is quite like human nature; for most people are forgetful,
125  IX,  7  |          more deeply rooted in the nature of things; the case of those
126  IX,  7  |          And this is rooted in the nature of things; for what he is
127  IX,  8  |           and most men are of this nature (which is the reason why
128  IX,  9  |   political creature and one whose nature is to live with others.
129  IX,  9  |         has the things that are by nature good. And plainly it is
130  IX,  9  |            we look deeper into the nature of things, a virtuous friend
131  IX,  9  |          For that which is good by nature, we have said, is for the
132  IX,  9  |          the determinate is of the nature of the good; and that which
133  IX,  9  |          and that which is good by nature is also good for the virtuous
134  IX,  9  |            are its attributes. The nature of pain will become plainer
135  IX,  9  |           pleasant (for life is by nature good, and to perceive what
136  IX,  9  |            man (since it is by its nature good and pleasant), and
137  IX,  11 |           reason people of a manly nature guard against making their
