  8    III,  1 |        happiness or wealth is more desirable), but things that are nearly
  9    III,  1 |          the advantage is the more desirable.~First, then, that which
 10    III,  1 |          lasting or secure is more desirable than that which is less
 11    III,  1 |    carpentry those things are more desirable which most, or all, doctors

 14    III,  1 |         desired for itself is more desirable than that which is desired
 15    III,  1 |          else; e.g. health is more desirable than gymnastics: for the
 16    III,  1 |          else. Also, that which is desirable in itself is more desirable
 17    III,  1 |        desirable in itself is more desirable than what is desirable per
 18    III,  1 |        more desirable than what is desirable per accidens; e.g. justice
 19    III,  1 |         enemies: for the former is desirable in itself, the latter per
 20    III,  1 |          the cause of good is more desirable than what is so per accidens,
 21    III,  1 |            good absolutely is more desirable than what is good for a
 22    III,  1 |          is good by nature is more desirable than the good that is not
 23    III,  1 |         Also the attribute is more desirable which belongs to the better
 24    III,  1 |      generally supposed to be more desirable than the means, and of two
 25    III,  1 |            the end of life is more desirable than a means to anything
 26    III,  1 |         Also the competent is more desirable than the incompetent. Moreover,
 27    III,  1 |            agents that one is more desirable whose end is better; while
 28    III,  1 |         produces happiness is more desirable than health: for it exceeds
 29    III,  1 |           and praiseworthy is more desirable than what is less so, e.g.
 30    III,  2 |           greater good is the more desirable: or, if the consequences
 31    III,  2 | consequences be evil, that is more desirable which is followed by the
 32    III,  2 |             For though both may be desirable, yet there may possibly
 33    III,  2 |      number of good things is more desirable than a smaller, either absolutely
 34    III,  2 |          two together are not more desirable than the one; e.g. recovery
 35    III,  2 |           with what is, to be more desirable than a greater number of
 36    III,  2 |            is not good may be more desirable than the combination of
 37    III,  2 |           Also, everything is more desirable at the season when it is
 38    III,  2 |   principle also, prudence is more desirable in old age; for no man chooses
 39    III,  2 |         elders.~Also, that is more desirable which is more useful at
 40    III,  2 |           the other thing, is more desirable than that which all may
 41    III,  2 |  objectionable are themselves more desirable. Likewise also with the
 42    III,  2 |       objectionable is itself more desirable. With the generations or
 43    III,  2 |  acquisition or generation is more desirable are themselves also desirable.
 44    III,  2 |      desirable are themselves also desirable. Another commonplace rule
 45    III,  2 |            good is better and more desirable, i.e. what more nearly resembles
 46    III,  2 |           conspicuous good is more desirable than the less conspicuous,
 47    III,  2 |        personal possession is more desirable than the more widely shared.
 48    III,  2 |         any unpleasantness is more desirable than what is so attended.~
 49    III,  2 |         friends can share are more desirable than those they cannot.
 50    III,  2 |          do to our friend are more desirable than those we like to do
 51    III,  2 |             and are sometimes more desirable as well: for the good life
 52    III,  2 |            better is not also more desirable: for there is no necessity
 53    III,  2 |      better it should also be more desirable: at least to be a philosopher
 54    III,  2 |          money, but it is not more desirable for a man who lacks the
 55    III,  2 |      perhaps, necessities are more desirable, while superfluities are
 56    III,  2 |           got from another is more desirable than what can be got from
 57    III,  2 |           courage. Also, A is more desirable if A is desirable without
 58    III,  2 |          is more desirable if A is desirable without B, but not B without
 59    III,  2 |     without A: power (e.g.) is not desirable without prudence, but prudence
 60    III,  2 |          prudence, but prudence is desirable without power. Also, if
 61    III,  2 |       other, then that one is more desirable which we wish to be thought
 62    III,  2 |             Moreover, that is more desirable in whose absence it is less
 63    III,  2 |            vexed; and that is more desirable in whose absence it is more
 64    III,  3 |      virtue of the species is more desirable than one which does not.
 65    III,  3 |           a greater degree is more desirable.~Moreover, if one thing
 66    III,  3 |            not, the former is more desirable, just as also what makes
 67    III,  3 |          so, then that one is more desirable which does so in a greater
 68    III,  3 |       justly" means something more desirable than "courageously", then
 69    III,  3 |       justice means something more desirable than courage; and if justice
 70    III,  3 |             and if justice be more desirable than courage, then also "
 71    III,  3 |       justly" means something more desirable than "courageously". Similarly
 72    III,  3 |          which exceeds is the more desirable; or if the one exceeds an
 73    III,  3 |           preferable to it is more desirable than the less highly preferable.
 74    III,  3 |          excess of a thing is more desirable than the excess of something
 75    III,  3 |          thing is itself also more desirable than the other, as (e.g.)
 76    III,  3 |       excess of friendship is more desirable than an excess of money.
 77    III,  3 |           by his own doing is more desirable than what he would rather
 78    III,  3 |          as B makes the whole more desirable than does the addition of
 79    III,  3 |      combination the saw is a more desirable thing, but it is not a more
 80    III,  3 |        thing, but it is not a more desirable thing without qualification.
 81    III,  3 |             Again, a thing is more desirable if, when added to a lesser
 82    III,  3 |        good.~Also, if one thing be desirable for itself, and the other
 83    III,  3 |          of it, the former is more desirable, as (e.g.) health than beauty.
 84    III,  3 |          have it. Also, it is more desirable both for itself and for
 85    III,  3 |           while the other thing is desirable on the one ground alone.
 86    III,  3 |            is also better and more desirable. A thing may be taken to
 87    III,  3 |    distinguish in how many senses "desirable" is used, and with a view
 88    III,  3 |            may be taken to be more desirable than what is not useful
 89    III,  3 |     expedient. Again, that is more desirable which serves the better
 90    III,  3 |         more in the way of what is desirable, e.g. disease more than
 91    III,  3 |          measure objectionable and desirable: for a thing of such a character
 92    III,  3 |         object to it alike is less desirable than the other which is
 93    III,  3 |            than the other which is desirable only.~
 94    III,  4 |            that anything is simply desirable or objectionable: for we
 95    III,  4 |           is more precious be more desirable, then also what is precious
 96    III,  4 |           also what is precious is desirable; and if what is more useful
 97    III,  4 |        what is more useful be more desirable, then also what is useful
 98    III,  4 |        then also what is useful is desirable. Likewise, also, in the
 99    III,  4 |             or the one of them, is desirable, e.g. whenever we call the
100    III,  4 |          what is good by nature is desirable.~
101     IV,  5 |             a capacity is always a desirable thing: for even the capacities
102     IV,  5 |           for doing bad things are desirable, and therefore it is we
103     IV,  5 |           blameworthy is sometimes desirable: for there will be a certain
104     IV,  5 |       anything that is precious or desirable for its own sake into the
105     IV,  5 |  productive of anything, is always desirable for the sake of something
106      V,  4 |          not be a property of the "desirable" either to "appear good
107      V,  4 |            object of pursuit" and "desirable" mean the same. For constructive
108      V,  6 |         good, and objectionable to desirable, and "desirable" is a property
109      V,  6 |   objectionable to desirable, and "desirable" is a property of "good", "
110     VI,  12|            he has rendered what is desirable for its own sake as desirable
111     VI,  12|      desirable for its own sake as desirable for what it produces or
112     VI,  12|          or does, or as in any way desirable because of something else,
113     VI,  12|          else is one of the things desirable for something else. It might
114     VI,  12|            is possible for what is desirable in itself to be desirable
115     VI,  12|          desirable in itself to be desirable for something else as well:
116     VI,  12|            still to define what is desirable in itself in such a way
117     VI,  12|           better for a thing to be desirable in itself than to be desirable
118     VI,  12|     desirable in itself than to be desirable for something else, so that
119    VII,  1 |          the good life is the most desirable and so also is the happy
120    VII,  1 |          happy life: for "the most desirable" and the greatest’ apply
121    VII,  1 |          termed "greatest" or most desirable’ must be numerically one:
122    VII,  1 |     because they are both the most desirable, they are therefore the
