This is why it is a hard task to be good, for it
is hard to find the middle point in anything: for instance, not everybody can find the
center of a circle, but only someone who knows geometry. So also anybody can become
angry—that is easy, and so it is to give and spend money; but to be angry with
or give money to the right person, and to the right amount, and at the right time, and for
the right purpose, and in the right way—this is not within everybody's power and
is not easy; so that to do these things properly is rare, praiseworthy, and
noble.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
