Courage Is The Mother Of All Virtues

Fine Friendship Requires Duration Rather Than Fitful Intensity.

Temperance And Bravery, Then, Are Ruined By Excess And Deficiency, But Preserved By The Mean.

Happiness Is Essentially Perfect; So That The Happy Man Requires In Addition The Goods Of The Body, External Goods And The Gifts Of Fortune, In Order That His Activity May Not Be Impeded Through Lack Of Them.

Suppose, Then, That All Men Were Sick Or Deranged, Save One Or Two Of Them Who Were Healthy And Of Right Mind. It Would Then Be The Latter Two Who Would Be Thought To Be Sick And Deranged And The Former Not!

We Become Just By Performing Just Action, Temperate By Performing Temperate Actions, Brave By Performing Brave Action.
