Temperance, Justice,

Courage

Gives one Virtue

 

 

Temperance

 

is moderation in the desire for physical pleasures.

 An excess of desire is overindulgence.

Deficiency has no common name,

but may be labeled "insensitivity".

 

 

 Justice

 

consists in a propensity to give or return

to a person the right amount (what is due to them).

Whereas injustice allots the person either more or less than what is due.              We might label the vices "favoritism" and "discrimination". 

Courage

 is moderation in the tendencies to feel fear

and boldness or confidence.

 Excess in the propensity to fear

combined with deficiency

in the propensity to be confident

constitutes cowardice.

 Deficiency of fear and excess of confidence

producers rashness or foolhardiness.
