187 IV, 2 | is doing everything on a bigger scale than he ought.~These
188 VIII, 13| contrary, say it was the biggest thing they had, and what
189 IV, 2 | the magnificent man-his bigness, as it were-is manifested,

197 III, 8 | panting" and "his blood boiled". For all such expressions
198 VII, 6 | must be fought against, boils up straightway; while appetite,
199 VIII, 12| And children seem to be a bond of union (which is the reason
200 IV, 8 | who do are thought to be boorish and unpolished. But those
201 VII, 9 | opinionated, the ignorant, and the boorish-the opinionated being influenced
202 II, 7 | of boor and his state is boorishness. With regard to the remaining

205 III, 5 | voluntary.~Witness seems to be borne to this both by individuals
206 IV, 2 | the most beautiful ball or bottle is magnificent as a gift

210 I, 6 | more appropriate to another branch of philosophy. And similarly

217 IX, 3 | there is nothing strange in breaking off a friendship based on
218 IX, 3 | friendship. But a man who breaks off such a friendship would

221 I, 1 | under a single capacity—as bridle-making and the other arts concerned
222 V, 9 | mother, that’s my tale in brief.~Were you both willing,
223 V, 6 | thief, an adulterer, or a brigand. Surely the answer does
224 IX, 2 | ransomed out of the hands of brigands ransom his ransomer in return,
225 IV, 2 | entertain the city, in a brilliant way. But in all cases, as
226 VIII, 9 | more terrible not to help a brother than a stranger, and more
227 II, 7 | ready wit, the excess is buffoonery and the person characterized
228 IV, 2 | the gods-votive offerings, buildings, and sacrifices-and similarly
229 V, 7 | the same force (as fire burns both here and in Persia),
230 VII, 7 | restrain their laughter burst out into a guffaw, as happened
231 VI, 8 | politicians are thought to be busybodies; hence the word of Euripides,~
232 III, 1 | that a pointed spear had a button on it, or that a stone was
233 V, 4 | is called losing, e.g. in buying and selling and in all other
234 IV, 6 | or the things that money buys is a flatterer; while the
235 VI, 1 | for to deliberate and to calculate are the same thing, but
236 VI, 5 | particular respect when they have calculated well with a view to some
237 VI, 9 | deliberates inquires and calculates. Nor is it skill in conjecture;
238 VI, 9 | searching for something and calculating.~But excellence in deliberation

240 II, 9 | more contrary to it, as Calypso advises~Hold the ship out
241 V, 5 | evil for evil-and if they cana not do so, think their position

244 VII, 7 | bitten by the snake, or Carcinus’ Cercyon in the Alope, and
245 IX, 6 | if people do not watch it carefully the common weal is soon
246 III, 5 | to be ignorant of through carelessness; we assume that it is in
247 V, 9 | similar opposition in either case-that both being unjustly and
248 IV, 3 | on him; but honour from casual people and on trifling grounds
249 III, 1 | as the man did with the catapult. Again, one might think
250 I, 6 | been predicated in all the categories but in one only. Further,
251 IX, 9 | and not, as in the case of cattle, feeding in the same place.~
252 III, 1 | oneself, as being easily caught by such attractions, and
253 VI, 2 | efficient, not its final cause-is choice, and that of choice
254 VI, 5 | see any such originating cause-to see that for the sake of
255 III, 11 | things (even his pain being caused by pleasure), and the temperate
256 V, 9 | honey, wine, hellebore, cautery, and the use of the knife
257 III, 7 | the waves, as they say the Celts do not; while the man who
258 VII, 7 | the snake, or Carcinus’ Cercyon in the Alope, and as people
259 V, 4 | segment CD and the segment CF; therefore it exceeds the
260 I, 10 | the happy man out to be chameleon and insecurely based. Or
261 III, 7 | not, and all the similar characterizations attach to him. He is lacking
262 IX, 4 | is by some one of these characterstics that friendship too is defined.~
263 IX, 8 | friendship is equality", and "charity begins at home"; for all
264 I, 8 | as a sort of adventitious charm, but has its pleasure in
265 V, 6 | are one’s own, but a man’s chattel, and his child until it
266 V, 6 | than towards children and chattels, for the former is household
267 IV, 2 | it can be produced most cheaply. It is necessary, then,
268 III, 5 | self-indulgent, in the one case by cheating and in the other by spending
269 IV, 1 | to this class belong the cheeseparer and every one of the sort;
270 IX, 5 | friend to another if he cherishes him for the sake of some
271 VI, 7 | but the man who knows that chicken is wholesome is more likely
272 VII, 5 | the victims of lust from childhood, from habit.~Now those in
273 VII, 2 | the proverb "when water chokes, what is one to wash it
274 IV, 5 | ceases. By reason of excess choleric people are quick-tempered
275 III, 2 | kind of opinion; for by choosing what is good or bad we are

283 VIII, 10| equity what belongs to the city-all or most of the good things
284 V, 11 | punishes; a certain loss of civil rights attaches to the man
285 V, 2 | involuntary (a) some are clandestine, such as theft, adultery,
286 IX, 8 | wicked man, what he does clashes with what he ought to do,
287 I, 3 | adequate if it has as much clearness as the subject-matter admits
288 VI, 13 | as practical wisdom is to cleverness-not the same, but like it-so
289 IV, 5 | Evidently, then, we must cling to the middle state.—Enough
290 VII, 7 | softness; such a man trails his cloak to avoid the pain of lifting
291 IV, 1 | such names as "miserly", "close", "stingy", all fall short
292 IV, 3 | tetadorn themselves with clothing and outward show and such
