  • Temperance and bravery, then, are ruined by excess and deficiency, but preserved by the mean.

    Aristotle, Terence Irwin (1996). “Aristotle: Introductory Readings”, p.218, Hackett Publishing
  • For both excessive and insufficient exercise destroy one's strength, and both eating and drinking too much or too little destroy health, whereas the right quantity produces, increases and preserves it. So it is the same with temperance, courage and the other virtues. This much then, is clear: in all our conduct it is the mean that is to be commended.

  • Music imitates (represents) the passions or states of the soul, such as gentleness, anger, courage, temperance, and their opposites.

  • Temperance is a mean with regard to pleasures.

    Aristotle (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Aristotle (Illustrated)”, p.2621, Delphi Classics
  • All are agreed that the various moral qualities are in a sense bestowed by nature: we are just, and capable of temperance, and brave, and possessed of the other virtues from the moment of our birth. But nevertheless we expect to find that true goodness is something different, and that the virtues in the true sense come to belong to us in another way. For even children and wild animals possess the natural dispositions, yet without Intelligence these may manifestly be harmful.

    Aristotle, Harris Rackham (1962). “The Nicomachean ethics”
