 1      I, 1 |         true and things that are better are, by their nature, practically
 2      I, 2 |         manner, some orators are better at the former and some at
 3      I, 2 |           On the other hand, the better the selection one makes
 4      I, 6 |       not only pleasant but also better. Further, a man of a given
 5      I, 7 |         first, the second is the better. That which does not need
 6      I, 7 |       plentiful. Thus, gold is a better thing than iron, though
 7      I, 7 |     harder to get, and therefore better worth getting. Reversely,
 8      I, 7 |          that the plentiful is a better thing than the rare, because
 9      I, 7 |     generally: the hard thing is better than the easy, because it
10      I, 7 |     reversely, the easy thing is better than the hard, for it is
11      I, 7 |          of two normal things is better or nobler than the other,
12      I, 7 |          degree of that thing is better or nobler than an unusual
13      I, 7 |      thing is more honourable or better than another if it is more
14      I, 7 |         it is more honourable or better to desire it; the importance
15      I, 7 |      thing is more honourable or better than another, it is more
16      I, 7 |        it is more honourable and better to desire it. Again, if
17      I, 7 |       judged, a good thing, or a better thing than something else,
18      I, 7 |         be so. That, again, is a better thing which attaches to
19      I, 7 |          thing which attaches to better men, either absolutely,
20      I, 7 |         in virtue of their being better; as courage is better than
21      I, 7 |      being better; as courage is better than strength. And that
22      I, 7 |       which would be chosen by a better man, either absolutely,
23      I, 7 |        or in virtue of his being better: for instance, to suffer
24      I, 7 |  pleasanter of two things is the better, since all things pursue
25      I, 7 |       Again, the nobler thing is better than the less noble, since
26      I, 7 |       which are more lasting are better than those which are more
27      I, 7 |          a thing is desired, the better it is. Further, that is
28      I, 7 |         is. Further, that is the better thing which is considered
29      I, 7 |       that what all share is the better thing, since it is a dishonour
30      I, 7 |        what none or few share is better, since it is rarer. The
31      I, 7 |         nobler and therefore the better they are. So with the things
32      I, 7 |          and the things that are better than others admitted or
33      I, 7 |      good. Moreover, things look better merely by being divided
34      I, 7 |    results. And since a thing is better when it is harder or rarer
35      I, 7 |        Again, what is natural is better than what is acquired, since
36      I, 7 |        to the end in view is the better. So too is that which is
37      I, 7 |          So too is that which is better for people generally as
38      I, 7 |        Again, what can be got is better than what cannot, for it
39      I, 7 |         is at the end of life is better than what is not, since
40      I, 7 |          What aims at reality is better than what aims at appearance.
41      I, 7 |        What a man wants to be is better than what a man wants to
42      I, 7 |     health it is not so. That is better than other things which
43      I, 7 |       advantages. Again, that is better than other things which
44      I, 7 |          good things that is the better whose addition to a third
45      I, 7 |         to a third thing makes a better whole than the addition
46      I, 7 |          are seen to possess are better than those which we are
47      I, 7 |        which is dearly prized is better than what is not-the sort
48      I, 9 |    actions are noble if they are better and nobler than the appropriate
49      I, 9 |      adversity, or if he becomes better and easier to get on with
50      I, 9 |           or that he has done it better than any one else; all these
51      I, 11|       judges. His neighbours are better judges than people at a
52      I, 11| associates and fellow-countrymen better than strangers; his contemporaries
53      I, 11|    strangers; his contemporaries better than posterity; sensible
54      I, 11|      posterity; sensible persons better than foolish ones; a large
55      I, 11|         a large number of people better than a small number: those
56      I, 14|    unwritten laws of justice-the better sort of man will be just
57      I, 15|         counterfeit. Or that the better a man is, the more he will
58      I, 15|         you are a rascal you had better make something by it, and
59     II, 12|        bad temper often gets the better of them, for owing to their
60     II, 12|         an honest man, or anyhow better than he is: they judge their
61     II, 15|      same thing close to us, and better to boast about. Being well-born,
62     II, 16|         asked him whether it was better to grow rich or wise. "Why,
63     II, 17|         wealthy type, others are better. Those in power are more
64     II, 21|   undesirable, I hold that it is better not to be educated"; or
65     II, 21|          Locrians, "Insolence is better avoided, lest the cicalas
66     II, 21|          as future enemies: much better to treat our enemies as
67     II, 22|        kind of eulogy applies no better to Achilles than to Diomede.
68     II, 23|     appear that his character is better than that of the defendant,
69     II, 23|       take or could have taken a better course than that which he
70     II, 23|         If he has not taken this better course, it is clear that
71     II, 23|      action could have been done better, though before the event
72     II, 24|     whichever of these two lines better suits your purpose. That
73     II, 24|          worse argument seem the better. Hence people were right
74    III, 2 |          metaphor from something better in the same line; if to
75    III, 2 |      other physical sense. It is better, for instance, to say "rosy-fingered
76    III, 2 |          a "mother-slayer"; or a better one, as when he is called
77    III, 7 |         is doing. Further, it is better not to have everything always
78    III, 12|        more finished: the spoken better admits of dramatic delivery-like
79    III, 12|         is superfluous and seems better away. The forensic style
80    III, 12|          take the whole thing in better, and judge of what is to
81    III, 15|       two, the latter to put the better construction on it. Thus
82    III, 16|       nothing by it, still it is better thus." For the other way
83    III, 16|         help the hearers to make better plans for the future. Or
84    III, 17|          argument by "enthymeme" better suits forensic. Political
