πρῶτον δὲ σκεπτέον ἐν τίνι τὸ εὖ ζῆν καὶ πῶς κτητόν , πότερον φύσει γίγνονται πάντες εὐδαίμονες οἱ τυγχάνοντες ταύτης τῆς προσηγορίας , ὥσπερ μεγάλοι καὶ μικροὶ καὶ τὴν χροιὰν διαφέροντες , ἢ διὰ μαθήσεως , ὡς οὔσης ἐπιστήμης τινὸς τῆς εὐδαιμονίας , ἢ διά τινος ἀσκήσεως [ πολλὰ γὰρ οὔτε κατὰ φύσιν οὔτε μαθοῦσιν ἀλλ᾽ ἐθισθεῖσιν ὑπάρχει τοῖς ἀνθρώποις , φαῦλα μὲν τοῖς φαύλως ἐθισθεῖσι , χρηστὰ δὲ τοῖς χρηστῶς ] , ἢ τούτων μὲν κατ᾽ οὐδένα τῶν τρόπων , δυοῖν δὲ θάτερον , ἤτοι καθάπερ οἱ νυμφόληπτοι καὶ θεόληπτοι τῶν ἀνθρώπων , ἐπιπνοίᾳ δαιμονίου τινὸς ὥσπερ ἐνθουσιάζοντες ,

nature
,
as

shortness
of

and
differences
of
complexion
,
or
by
study
,
which
would
imply
that
there
is
a
science
of
happiness
,
or
by
some
form
of
training
,
for
there
are
many
human
attributes
that
are
not
bestowed
by
nature
nor
acquired
by
study
but
gained
by
habituation
-
bad
attributes
by
those
trained
