This is 1218 VIII, 5 | locally separated are not performing, but are disposed to perform, 1219 IX, 1 | promised everything now performs nothing. Such incidents 1220 VII, 12 | that matter the arts of the perfumer and the cook are thought 1221 VI, 5 | this reason that we think Pericles and men like him have practical 1222 III, 8 | without foreseeing any of the perils, since at that rate even 1223 VII, 14 | well, inasmuch as we are perishable creatures, so that if the 1224 I, 6 | no whiter than that which perishes in a day.

But among the Persians the rule of the father is 1229 IV, 7 | i.e. in the things that pertain to justice or injustice ( 1230 VIII, 10| number of deviation-formsperversions, as it were, of them.

Now what it preserves 1237 VI, 8 | but not a philosopher or a physicist. It is because the objects 1238 IX, 9 | present at the start like a piece of property. If (1) happiness 1239 I, 6 | for, while both are dear, piety requires us to honour truth 1240 IV, 1 | those who ply sordid trades, pimps and all such people, and 1241 IX, 6 | alliance with Sparta, or that Pittacus should be their ruler-at 1242 I, 12 | clearly it is not to be placed among potentialities. Everything 1243 IX, 9 | nature of pain will become plainer in what follows. But if 1244 I, 7 | seems to be common even to plants, but we are seeking what 1245 I, 7 | is the chief good seems a platitude, and a clearer account of 1246 I, 6 | discerned in the fact that the Platonists have not been speaking about 1247 I, 6 | This argument has some plausibility, but seems to clash with 1248 VII, 4 | pursues the excesses of things pleasant-and shuns those of things painful, 1249 I, 8 | and best is health;~But pleasantest is it to win what we love.~ ~ 1250 IX, 9 | happy man ought to live pleasantly.
