  2      I, 1 |           truth is likely to make a good guess at probabilities.~
  3      I, 1 |          made in common against all good things except virtue, and

  7      I, 3 |            is the greater or lesser good, the greater or lesser act
  8      I, 4 |            are the kinds of things, good or bad, about which the
  9      I, 4 |            this class includes some good things that occur naturally,
 10      I, 5 |        maximum of pleasure; or as a good condition of property and
 11      I, 5 |          its constituent parts are:-good birth, plenty of friends,
 12      I, 5 |           birth, plenty of friends, good friends, wealth, good children,
 13      I, 5 |      friends, good friends, wealth, good children, plenty of children,
 14      I, 5 |         together with fame, honour, good luck, and virtue. A man
 15      I, 5 |           of the body are internal. Good birth, friends, money, and
 16      I, 5 |           these parts of it is.~Now good birth in a race or a state
 17      I, 5 |       qualities that we admire.~The good birth of an individual,
 18      I, 5 |          The phrases "possession of good children" and "of many children"
 19      I, 5 |             men are numerous and of good a quality: good in regard
 20      I, 5 |     numerous and of good a quality: good in regard to bodily excellences,
 21      I, 5 |           are numerous and have the good qualities we have described.
 22      I, 5 |          men, or by most, or by the good, or by the wise.~Honour
 23      I, 5 |            s being famous for doing good. it is chiefly and most
 24      I, 5 |         those who have already done good; but also to the man who
 25      I, 5 |          also to the man who can do good in future. Doing good refers
 26      I, 5 |            do good in future. Doing good refers either to the preservation
 27      I, 5 |             or to some other of the good things which it is hard
 28      I, 5 |          move them fast and far, is good at running; he who can grip
 29      I, 5 |           can grip and hold down is good at wrestling; he who can
 30      I, 5 |            with the right blow is a good boxer: he who can do both
 31      I, 5 |           can do both the last is a good pancratiast, while he who
 32      I, 5 |    excellences of the body and from good luck. If a man is not free
 33      I, 5 |         painless life unless he has good luck. There is, indeed,
 34      I, 5 |         friends" and "possession of good friends" need no explanation;
 35      I, 5 |           to do what he takes to be good for you. The man towards
 36      I, 5 |        these are worthy men, he has good friends.~"Good luck" means
 37      I, 5 |          men, he has good friends.~"Good luck" means the acquisition
 38      I, 5 |            most important, of those good things which are due to
 39      I, 5 |             due to nature. All such good things as excite envy are,
 40      I, 5 |             a class, the outcome of good luck. Luck is also the cause
 41      I, 5 |           Luck is also the cause of good things that happen contrary
 42      I, 5 |       things are reckoned pieces of good luck.~As to virtue, it is
 43      I, 6 |           do. Further, utility is a good thing. We ought therefore
 44      I, 6 |            general.~We may define a good thing as that which ought
 45      I, 6 |           this being his individual good; or as that whose presence
 46      I, 6 |             both the acquisition of good things and the removal of
 47      I, 6 |       removal of bad things must be good; the latter entails freedom
 48      I, 6 |           entails possession of the good things subsequently. The
 49      I, 6 |        greater in place of a lesser good, or of a lesser in place
 50      I, 6 |             a greater evil, is also good, for in proportion as the
 51      I, 6 |             there is acquisition of good or removal of evil. The
 52      I, 6 |              too, must be something good; for it is by possessing
 53      I, 6 |   possessing these that we are in a good condition, and they tend
 54      I, 6 |            and they tend to produce good works and good actions.
 55      I, 6 |           to produce good works and good actions. They must be severally
 56      I, 6 |          Pleasure, again, must be a good thing, since it is the nature
 57      I, 6 |            beautiful things must be good things, since the former
 58      I, 6 |         list of things that must be good. Happiness, as being desirable
 59      I, 6 |            productive of many other good things: for instance, health
 60      I, 6 |            productive of many other good things. Friends and friendship:
 61      I, 6 |            productive of many other good things. So, too, honour
 62      I, 6 |            productive of many other good things, and usually accompanied
 63      I, 6 |  accompanied by the presence of the good things that cause them to
 64      I, 6 |           are productive of what is good. Further-good parts, strong
 65      I, 6 |           are productive of what is good. Similarly, all the sciences
 66      I, 6 |             since, even if no other good were the result of life,
 67      I, 6 |            justice, as the cause of good to the community.~The above
 68      I, 6 |           all the things admittedly good. In dealing with things
 69      I, 6 |             following ways:-That is good of which the contrary is
 70      I, 6 |            contrary is bad. That is good the contrary of which is
 71      I, 6 |             principle usually holds good, but not always, since it
 72      I, 6 |           which is not in excess is good, and that which is greater
 73      I, 6 |             be is bad. That also is good on which much labour or
 74      I, 6 |          fact of this makes it seem good, and such a good is assumed
 75      I, 6 |            it seem good, and such a good is assumed to be an end-an
 76      I, 6 |             means; and any end is a good. Hence the lines beginning:~
 77      I, 6 |            of contention, is also a good; for, as has been shown,
 78      I, 6 |             has been shown, that is good which is sought after by
 79      I, 6 |            That which is praised is good, since no one praises what
 80      I, 6 |             one praises what is not good. So, again, that which is
 81      I, 6 |             grievance think a thing good, it is at once felt that
 82      I, 6 |          complaint.)~Again, that is good which has been distinguished
 83      I, 6 |            speaking, all things are good which men deliberately choose
 84      I, 6 |            bad for their enemies or good for their friends, and at
 85      I, 6 |            takes. Again, a thing is good if it is as men wish; and
 86      I, 6 |            or at least a balance of good over evil. This last will
 87      I, 6 |            imperceptible or slight. Good, too, are things that are
 88      I, 6 |           inferiors have succeeded. Good also are the things by which
 89      I, 6 |           means of persuasion about Good and Utility.~
 90      I, 7 |           we are applying the term "good" to what is desirable for
 91      I, 7 |          individual that thing is a good which fulfils these conditions
 92      I, 7 |        number of goods is a greater good than one or than a smaller
 93      I, 7 |         specimens. Again, where one good is always accompanied by
 94      I, 7 |             productive of a greater good than another is productive
 95      I, 7 |   productive of is itself a greater good than that other. For this
 96      I, 7 |            is produced by a greater good is itself a greater good;
 97      I, 7 |            good is itself a greater good; thus, if what is wholesome
 98      I, 7 |             desirable and a greater good than what gives pleasure,
 99      I, 7 |        health too must be a greater good than pleasure. Again, a
100      I, 7 |    desirable in itself is a greater good than a thing which is not
101      I, 7 |           was our definition of the good. Again, if one of two things
102      I, 7 |           the former is the greater good, as being chosen for its
103      I, 7 |        other things, is the greater good, since it is more self-sufficing. (
104      I, 7 |        presents itself as a greater good for that reason. Again,
105      I, 7 |           other things is a greater good than that which is not,
106      I, 7 |             is a cause is a greater good than that which is not;
107      I, 7 |           what is rare is a greater good than what is plentiful.
108      I, 7 |             be. That is the greater good whose contrary is the greater
109      I, 7 |           the things themselves are good or bad: conversely, in proportion
110      I, 7 |           the things themselves are good or bad, their functions
111      I, 7 |            their functions also are good or bad; for the nature of
112      I, 7 |            which has been judged, a good thing, or a better thing
113      I, 7 |            since one definition of "good" was "what beings that acquire
114      I, 7 |     strength. And that is a greater good which would be chosen by
115      I, 7 |       characteristics by which the "good" and the "end" have been
116      I, 7 |          chosen by all is a greater good than that which is not,
117      I, 7 |            that which all desire is good, as we have said; " and
118      I, 7 |          admitted or believed to be good. Moreover, things look better
119      I, 7 |              And the best part of a good thing is particularly good;
120      I, 7 |          good thing is particularly good; as when Pericles in his
121      I, 7 |         than what cannot, for it is good in a given case and the
122      I, 7 |           that which promotes life, good life, pleasure, and noble
123      I, 7 |             and so here we have the good of feeling pleasure and
124      I, 7 |       feeling pleasure and also the good of not feeling pain. And
125      I, 7 |            feeling pain. And of two good things that is the better
126      I, 7 |            be regarded as a greater good if its existence is known
127      I, 8 |            by which we shall gain a good knowledge of the moral qualities
128      I, 9 |       praise; or that which is both good and also pleasant because
129      I, 9 |           and also pleasant because good. If this is a true definition
130      I, 9 |           noble, since it is both a good thing and also praiseworthy.
131      I, 9 |            providing and preserving good things; or a faculty of
132      I, 9 |             spend money for others’ good; illiberality is the opposite.
133      I, 9 |       virtue that disposes us to do good to others on a large scale; [
134      I, 9 |            one else’s sake; actions good absolutely, such as those
135      I, 9 |        thinking of himself; actions good in their own nature; actions
136      I, 9 |        nature; actions that are not good simply for the individual,
137      I, 9 |  benefactors, for this is just; and good deeds generally, since they
138      I, 9 |          Sappho wrote~If for things good and noble thou wert yearning,~
139      I, 9 |            they feel thus about the good things which lead to fair
140      I, 9 |            prove our superiority in good qualities. Things that deserve
141      I, 9 |           possess the corresponding good qualities; rashness will
142      I, 9 |      extreme form of goodness to be good to everybody.~We must also
143      I, 9 |       others by being intentionally good, we must try to prove that
144      I, 9 |       intended. Produce a number of good actions, all of the same
145      I, 9 |             and that they prove the good qualities of the man who
146      I, 9 |             the eminence of a man’s good qualities, and therefore
147      I, 9 |             of accessories, such as good birth and education, merely
148      I, 9 |          fathers are likely to have good sons, and good training
149      I, 9 |       likely to have good sons, and good training is likely to produce
150      I, 9 |       training is likely to produce good character. Hence it is only
151      I, 9 |           not actually done a given good thing, we shall bestow praise
152      I, 10|            craving is a craving for good, i.e. a wish-nobody wishes
153      I, 10|        anything unless he thinks it good. Irrational craving is twofold,
154      I, 10|           due, indeed, sometimes to good dispositions and good emotions,
155      I, 10|            to good dispositions and good emotions, and sometimes
156      I, 10|          sometimes to bad; but that good qualities should be followed
157      I, 10|     qualities should be followed by good emotions, and bad by bad,
158      I, 10|            are or seem to be either good or pleasant. Moreover, as
159      I, 10|             be or seem to be either good or pleasant; for I reckon
160      I, 11|             induced to believe them good. Further, pleasure is the
161      I, 11|       subsequently proved noble and good. Hence the words~Sweet "
162      I, 11|       capacity for them. Honour and good repute are among the most
163      I, 11|            by people whom he thinks good judges. His neighbours are
164      I, 11|           are the more likely to be good judges of him. Honour and
165      I, 12|          they think, if they are on good terms with their victims
166      I, 12|            by having a particularly good reputation, because that
167      I, 13|           legislate as if that held good always which in fact only
168      I, 13|            which in fact only holds good usually; or where it is
169      I, 14|         harm but failing to do them good; that which breaks the unwritten
170      I, 15|          chooses what is absolutely good, but every one what is good
171      I, 15|         good, but every one what is good for himself. Or that not

176     II, 1 |            proof of it: good sense, good moral character, and goodwill.

189     II, 4 |            persons think the things good which we think good, so
190     II, 4 |          things good which we think good, so that they wish what
191     II, 4 |           so that they wish what is good for us; and this, as we
192     II, 4 |       friends: such are the morally good, and those well thought
193     II, 4 |       towards those who praise such good qualities as we possess,
194     II, 4 |       especially if they praise the good qualities that we are not
195     II, 4 |             nor our own, but of our good ones only, as a good man
196     II, 4 |            our good ones only, as a good man always will be. And
197     II, 4 |        those whom we help to secure good for themselves, provided
198     II, 4 |             them in trouble; of all good men, we feel most friendly
199     II, 6 |      praising extravagantly a man’s good points and glozing over
200     II, 6 |          admire us, who possess any good thing that is highly esteemed;

203     II, 8 |          think they possess all the good things of life, it is clear
204     II, 8 |     included, this being one of the good things in question. Those
205     II, 8 |         elderly men, owing to their good sense and their experience;
206     II, 8 |         people; if you think nobody good, you will believe that everybody
207     II, 8 |            from a source from which good ought to have come; and
208     II, 8 |     misfortunes. Also the coming of good when the worst has happened:
209     II, 8 |          death. Also that either no good should have befallen a man

211     II, 9 |        feelings are associated with good moral character; it is our
212     II, 9 |           result of the other man’s good fortune. The feelings of
213     II, 9 |           merited distress. Thus no good man can be pained by the
214     II, 9 |             the sight of undeserved good fortune. It is, then, plain
215     II, 9 |             there are some forms of good the sight of which cannot
216     II, 9 |     speaking, which are deserved by good men and by those who possess
217     II, 9 |            those possessing a given good if they have as a matter

222     II, 10|          fortune as consists of the good things already mentioned;
223     II, 10|             that thing is wisdom or good fortune. Ambitious men are

226     II, 11|          nature is like our own, of good things that are highly valued

232     II, 11|    assumption that they ought to be good men, they are emulous to
233     II, 11|          men whose state of mind is good. Also by those whom all
234     II, 11|         have it. Further, since all good things that are highly honoured
235     II, 11|          object, and also all those good things that are useful and
236     II, 11|        honour those who are morally good, and also those who do them
237     II, 11|         them service. So with those good things our possession of
238     II, 11|         powers-can do many people a good turn. Also those whom many

245     II, 13|      oneself, and the noble what is good absolutely. They are not
246     II, 15|     affected. First let us consider Good Birth. Its effect on character

253     II, 17|     important. It may be added that good fortune leads us to gain

255     II, 19|            come into existence in a good and beautiful form, then
256     II, 19|       through lack of self-control; good people, because their hearts

258     II, 20|       witness will serve if he is a good one. It has now been stated
259     II, 22|      whether justice is or is not a good, we must start with the
260     II, 22|      applicable to enthymemes about good and evil, the noble and
261     II, 23|          were constrained to do the good they did us.~Or— ~Since

264     II, 23|         that Helen must have been a good woman, because Theseus decided

277     II, 25|             having concluded that a good man does good to all his
278     II, 25|      concluded that a good man does good to all his friends, you

280    III, 1 |           taught. The principles of good diction can be so taught,
281    III, 2 |    definition of style. Style to be good must be clear, as is proved
282    III, 2 | conversation. We can now see that a good writer can produce a style
283    III, 2 |        satisfying our definition of good oratorical prose. Words
284    III, 2 |             here called a "gluing". Good riddles do, in general,
285    III, 2 |            riddles, and therefore a good riddle can furnish a good
286    III, 2 |           good riddle can furnish a good metaphor. Further, the materials
287    III, 2 |            bad thing less bad and a good thing less good. Take, for
288    III, 2 |           bad and a good thing less good. Take, for instance, the
289    III, 3 |             of something merely not good. That is why the epithets
290    III, 3 |          you could; and so it was a good gibe to address her as what
291    III, 5 |         composed. The foundation of good style is correctness of
292    III, 5 |      obscurity. One merit, then, of good style lies in the right
293    III, 6 |     treatment by negation either to good or to bad qualities, according
294    III, 10|          and therefore, if they are good similes, give an effect
295    III, 10|           war and peace. It is also good to use metaphorical words;
296    III, 11|       activity. Thus, to say that a good man is "four-square" is
297    III, 11|      certainly a metaphor; both the good man and the square are perfect;
298    III, 11|         metaphorically, the joke is good if it fits the facts. For
299    III, 11|              No, there must be both good qualities together, as in "
300    III, 12|             is to know how to speak good Greek. To know the former

304    III, 14|           thus: "We ought to honour good men and so I myself am praising
305    III, 14|          but not bad men, men whose good qualities have never been

310    III, 16|          good sense, but this shows good character; good sense making
311    III, 16|          this shows good character; good sense making us go after
312    III, 16|           after what is useful, and good character after what is
313    III, 17|            is unjust, or will do no good, or is not so important
314    III, 17|           of valour, describing its good results, and saying what
315    III, 17|            it is more fitting for a good man to display himself as
316    III, 18|           are uninitiated?"~Another good moment is when one premiss
317    III, 18|           gods themselves?" Another good occasion is when you expect
