Many terms are used in an analogical sense, and so we have come to speak by analogy of
the ‘self-restraint’ of the temperate man, because the temperate man,
as well as the self-restrained, is so constituted as never to be led by the pleasures of
the body to act against principle. But whereas the self-restrained man has evil desires,1 the temperate man has
none; he is so constituted as to take no pleasure in things that are contrary to
principle, whereas the self-restrained man does feel pleasure in such things, but does not
yield to it.
1 Though he conquers them.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
