Anything that we have to learn to do we learn by the actual doing of it; People become builders by building and instrumentalists by playing instruments. Similarily, we become just by performing just acts, temperate by performing temperate ones, brave by performing brave ones.

Aristotle

Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.

Aristotle

Men become builders by building and lyreplayers by playing the lyre; so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.

Aristotle

It is well said, then, that it is by doing just acts that the just man is produced, and by doing temperate acts the temperate man; without doing these no one would have even a prospect of becoming good. But most people do not do these, but take refuge in theory and think they are being philosophers and will become good in this way, behaving somewhat like patients who listen attentively to their doctors, but do none of the things they are ordered to do.

Aristotle

We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.

Aristotle

But the virtues we get by first exercising them, as also happens in the case of the arts as well. For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them, e.g. men become builders by building and lyre players by playing the lyre; so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.

Aristotle

A temperate anger has virtue in it.

Thomas Chandler Haliburton

A temperate style is alone classical.

Joseph Joubert

Be sober and temperate, and you will be healthy.

Benjamin Franklin

If you would be chaste, you must be temperate.

Henry David Thoreau

Temperate anger well becomes the wise.

Philemon

A good cook is a certain slow poisoner, if you are not temperate.

Voltaire

A drunkard is one thing, and a temperate man is quite another.

Arthur Keith

It is the repeated performance of just and temperate actions that produces virtue.

Aristotle

The State, of course, is absolutely indispensable to the preservation of law and order, and the promotion of peace and social cooperation. What is unnecessary and evil, what abridges the liberty and threatens the true welfare of the individual, is the State that has usurped excessive powers and grown beyond its legitimate function - the super-State, the socialist State, the redistributive State, in brief, the ironically misnamed 'Welfare State.'

Henry Hazlitt

Who can be wise, amazed, temperate and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man.

William Shakespeare
