 1      I,  5 |        accident the second is the better: for if he adopts the first,
 2      I,  7 |        will, we think, understand better from some accidental feature;
 3    III,  1 |        the more desirable, or the better, of two or more things,
 4    III,  1 |          you require. Of what is "better" or "more desirable" the
 5    III,  1 |    standard is the verdict of the better science, though relatively
 6    III,  1 |    desirable which belongs to the better and more honourable subject,
 7    III,  1 |           too the property of the better thing is better than the
 8    III,  1 |   property of the better thing is better than the property of the
 9    III,  1 |           the other. Also that is better which is inherent in things
10    III,  1 |       which is inherent in things better or prior or more honourable:
11    III,  1 | honourable: thus (e.g.) health is better than strength and beauty:
12    III,  1 |       more desirable whose end is better; while between a productive
13    III,  1 |        what produces happiness is better than health. For what produces
14    III,  2 |          later consequence is the better to consider. You should
15    III,  2 |          is nearer to the good is better and more desirable, i.e.
16    III,  2 |         the good: thus justice is better than a just man. Also, that
17    III,  2 |        another thing to something better than itself, as e.g. some
18    III,  2 |          some say that Ajax was a better man than Odysseus because
19    III,  2 |           if one is more like the better thing while another is more
20    III,  2 |         then that is likely to be better which is more like the better.
21    III,  2 |     better which is more like the better. This too, however, admits
22    III,  2 |       only slightly resembles the better, while the other strongly
23    III,  2 |         the one which is like the better type shows a degrading likeness,
24    III,  2 |         easier: for we appreciate better the possession of things
25    III,  2 |          be without qualification better than B, then also the best
26    III,  2 |       best of the members of A is better than the best of the members
27    III,  2 |      members of B; e.g. if Man be better than Horse, then also the
28    III,  2 |         then also the best man is better than the best horse. Also,
29    III,  2 |         Also, if the best in A be better than the best in B, then
30    III,  2 |         best in B, then also A is better than B without qualification;
31    III,  2 |           e.g. if the best man be better than the best horse, then
32    III,  2 |           horse, then also Man is better than Horse without qualification.~
33    III,  2 |           Also, superfluities are better than necessities, and are
34    III,  2 |        well: for the good life is better than mere life, and good
35    III,  2 |        Sometimes, though, what is better is not also more desirable:
36    III,  2 |      necessity that because it is better it should also be more desirable:
37    III,  2 |      least to be a philosopher is better than to make money, but
38    III,  2 |           while superfluities are better.~Also, what cannot be got
39    III,  3 |          or if it render good the better and more important object-if (
40    III,  3 |      precious for itself, is also better and more desirable. A thing
41    III,  3 |        desirable which serves the better purpose, e.g. that which
42     IV,  6 |       contrary, and he places the better of the contraries inside
43     IV,  6 |      contrary genera, so that the better species will be found in
44     IV,  6 |        genus and the worse in the better: whereas the usual view
45     IV,  6 |         usual view is that of the better species the genus too is
46     IV,  6 |          species the genus too is better. Also see if he has placed
47     IV,  6 |          worse and not inside the better genus, when it is at the
48     IV,  6 |           so that, if rest is the better of the two, this is the
49     IV,  6 |         animal" shows what man is better than he who describes him
50      V,  2 |           than "fire"-for we know better what fire is than what soul
51     VI,  4 |        framed a definition, and a better one, so that both would
52     VI,  4 |           Absolutely, then, it is better to try to make what is posterior
53     VI,  5 |     things has not defined it any better than he who mentions the
54     VI,  5 |          worse rather than to the better; for every form of knowledge
55     VI,  12|       best in anything, and it is better for a thing to be desirable
56     VI,  13|         whole, as produced from a better and worse, fails to be worse
57     VI,  13|        fails to be worse than the better and better than the worse
58     VI,  13|         worse than the better and better than the worse element.
59     VI,  14|         and, if the emendation is better, they repeal the existing
60     VI,  14|           for if it is seen to be better, and more indicative of
61     VI,  14|          addition, so that one is better supplied with lines of attack.~
62    VII,  1 |           the other, each will be better than the other. For then
63    VII,  1 |    Peloponnesians are bound to be better than the Spartans, seeing
64    VII,  1 |           the other; for they are better than anybody else. Likewise
65    VII,  1 |         Spartans must perforce be better than the Peloponnesians;
66    VII,  1 |  Peloponnesians; for they too are better than anybody else; each
67    VII,  1 |        anybody else; each then is better than the other! Clearly
68    VII,  3 |     together. Thus if A defines a better than B defines and B is
69   VIII,  1 |         objects of perception are better known, to most people if
70   VIII,  1 |          one form of knowledge as better than another by being either
71   VIII,  1 |       accurate, or concerned with better objects; or the distinction
72   VIII,  3 | difficulty of the problem, he had better grant it; if, on the other
73   VIII,  3 |        through premisses that are better assured, he had better refuse.
74   VIII,  3 |        are better assured, he had better refuse. In other words,
75   VIII,  9 |           that to do injustice is better than to suffer it. For people
76   VIII,  14|           in this way we shall be better equipped for dealing with
77   VIII,  14|           under its number. It is better to commit to memory a premiss
