 1   I,  6 |            what in the world they mean by "a thing itself", is (
 2   I,  6 |         Idea.~But what then do we mean by the good? It is surely
 3   I,  7 |         self-sufficient we do not mean that which is sufficient
 4   I,  7 |      sense of activity is what we mean; for this seems to be the
 5   I,  10|      happy, and if Solon does not mean this, but that one can then
 6   I,  10|         acts that are hateful and mean. For the man who is truly
 7   I,  13|     happiness. By human virtue we mean not that of the body but
 8   I,  13|       vegetative in its nature, I mean that which causes nutrition
 9  II,  2 |      defect, and preserved by the mean.~But not only are the sources
10  II,  4 |          might be asked,; what we mean by saying that we must become
11  II,  5 |           of these. By passions I mean appetite, anger, fear, confidence,
12  II,  6 |      intermediate in the object I mean that which is equidistant
13  II,  6 |           works of art, while the mean preserves it; and good artists,
14  II,  6 |     aiming at the intermediate. I mean moral virtue; for it is
15  II,  6 |     Therefore virtue is a kind of mean, since, as we have seen,
16  II,  6 |   characteristic of vice, and the mean of virtue;~For men are good
17  II,  6 |           with choice, lying in a mean, i.e. the mean relative
18  II,  6 |         lying in a mean, i.e. the mean relative to us, this being
19  II,  6 |         determine it. Now it is a mean between two vices, that
20  II,  6 |         defect; and again it is a mean because the vices respectively
21  II,  6 |           its essence virtue is a mean, with regard to what is
22  II,  6 |         every passion admits of a mean; for some have names that
23  II,  6 |          action there should be a mean, an excess, and a deficiency;
24  II,  6 |        that rate there would be a mean of excess and of deficiency,
25  II,  6 |        have mentioned there is no mean nor any excess and deficiency,
26  II,  6 |        general there is neither a mean of excess and deficiency,
27  II,  6 |        excess and deficiency of a mean.~
28  II,  7 |         confidence courage is the mean; of the people who exceed,
29  II,  7 |           regard to the pains—the mean is temperance, the excess
30  II,  7 |           and taking of money the mean is liberality, the excess
31  II,  7 |        short in taking, while the mean man exceeds in taking and
32  II,  7 |         also other dispositions—a mean, magnificence (for the magnificent

34  II,  7 |       excess, a deficiency, and a mean. Although they can scarcely
35  II,  7 |     good-tempered let us call the mean good temper; of the persons
36  II,  7 |        see that in all things the mean is praise-worthy, and the
37  II,  7 |   truthful sort of person and the mean may be called truthfulness,
38  II,  7 |           way is friendly and the mean is friendliness, while the
39  II,  7 |        Righteous indignation is a mean between envy and spite,
40  II,  7 |         say how each of them is a mean; and similarly we shall

42  II,  8 |        prodigal relatively to the mean man, mean relatively to
43  II,  8 |       relatively to the mean man, mean relatively to the prodigal.
44  II,  8 |         are more contrary.~To the mean in some cases the deficiency,
45  II,  8 |       describe as contrary to the mean, then, rather the directions
46  II,  9 |          9~That moral virtue is a mean, then, and in what sense
47  II,  9 |           is so, and that it is a mean between two vices, the one
48  II,  9 |       therefore, since to hit the mean is hard in the extreme,
49  II,  9 |           best be able to hit the mean.~But this is no doubt difficult,
50  II,  9 |      shall we most easily hit the mean and what is right.~
