 1   I,  4 |              refinement say that it is happiness, and identify living well
 2   I,  4 |                but with regard to what happiness is they differ, and the
 3   I,  5 |               to identify the good, or happiness, with pleasure; which is
 4   I,  5 |            active disposition identify happiness with honour; for this is,
 5   I,  7 |       something else.~Now such a thing happiness, above all else, is held
 6   I,  7 |              them also for the sake of happiness, judging that by means of
 7   I,  7 |                them we shall be happy. Happiness, on the other hand, no one
 8   I,  7 |             nothing; and such we think happiness to be; and further we think
 9   I,  7 |              is always more desirable. Happiness, then, is something final
10   I,  7 |       Presumably, however, to say that happiness is the chief good seems
11   I,  8 |               have practically defined happiness as a sort of good life and
12   I,  8 | characteristics that are looked for in happiness seem also, all of them,
13   I,  8 |                to what we have defined happiness as being. For some identify
14   I,  8 |               being. For some identify happiness with virtue, some with practical
15   I,  8 |                With those who identify happiness with virtue or some one
16   I,  8 |             such as we have described. Happiness then is the best, noblest,
17   I,  8 |                these, we identify with happiness.~Yet evidently, as we said,
18   I,  8 |            which takes the lustre from happiness, as good birth, goodly children,
19   I,  8 |               death. As we said, then, happiness seems to need this sort
20   I,  8 |             which reason some identify happiness with good fortune, though
21   I,  9 |             question is asked, whether happiness is to be acquired by learning
22   I,  9 |             men, it is reasonable that happiness should be god-given, and
23   I,  9 |        appropriate to another inquiry; happiness seems, however, even if
24   I,  9 |            also from the definition of happiness; for it has been said to
25   I,  9 |             pre-exist as conditions of happiness, and others are naturally
26   I,  10|         especially for us who say that happiness is an activity? But if we
27   I,  10|                have some effect on the happiness of their ancestors.~But
28   I,  10|                because we have assumed happiness to be something permanent
29   I,  10|          opposites are what constitute happiness or the reverse.~The question
30   I,  10|                ill they crush and maim happiness; for they both bring pain
31   I,  10|     misadventures, will he recover his happiness in a short time, but if
32   I,  10|                is obscure to us, while happiness, we claim, is an end and
33   I,  11|          friends should not affect his happiness at all seems a very unfriendly
34   I,  12|                let us consider whether happiness is among the things that
35   I,  12|            good things; no one praises happiness as he does justice, but
36   I,  12|                what has been said that happiness is among the things that
37   I,  13|                               13~Since happiness is an activity of soul in
38   I,  13|               see better the nature of happiness. The true student of politics,
39   I,  13|         seeking was human good and the happiness human happiness. By human
40   I,  13|                and the happiness human happiness. By human virtue we mean
41   I,  13|              but that of the soul; and happiness also we call an activity

43  VI,  12|             philosophic wisdom produce happiness; for, being a part of virtue
44 VII,  11|               but most people say that happiness involves pleasure; this
45 VII,  13|            that of some one of them is happiness, this should be the thing
46 VII,  13|                when it is impeded, and happiness is a perfect thing; this
47 VII,  13|              fortune the same thing as happiness; but it is not that, for
48 VII,  13|               is fixed by reference to happiness.~And indeed the fact that
49  IX,  9 |                said at the outset that happiness is an activity; and activity
