Temperance is another, the balance in a soul, controlling desire. Courage is the third. What person could flourish if like Oblomov he stayed in bed out of uncontrolled fear, or out of ennui, an aristocratic version of cowardice? Prudence is the executive virtue, as St. Thomas Aquinas called it-know-how, savoir faire, self-interest. It rounds out the four virtues most admired in the tough little cities or tougher big empires of the classical Mediterranean. The Romans called the four of justice, temperance, courage, and prudence the "cardinal" virtues, on which a society of warriors or orators or courtiers hinged (cardo, hinge). The Christians called them, not entirely in contempt, "pagan."

ellauri054.html on line 193: Riikonen has also planned a book on the Aristotelian concept of temperance. He believes temperance can also be used to describe his own lifestyle. “I’m a calm, middle-of-the-road person. I have never veered toward the extreme, in good or bad.” Every day, Riikonen walks to his office in Topelia from his home in Etu-Töölö. “Last year, around the New Year, I lost my temper for the first time, as the electronic lock system in Topelia was broken and I couldn't get to my office during the weekend. The weekends are the best time to work, because it is very quiet,” says Riikonen.

There, remote from the power of example, and check of shame, many families exhibit the most hideous parts of our society. They are a kind of forlorn hope, preceding by ten or twelve years the most respectable army of veterans which come after them. In that space, prosperity will polish some, vice and the law will drive off the rest, who uniting again with others like themselves will recede still farther; making room for more industrious people, who will finish their improvements, convert the loghouse into a convenient habitation, and rejoicing that the first heavy labours are finished, will change in a few years that hitherto barbarous country into a fine fertile, well regulated district. Such is our progress, such is the march of the Europeans toward the interior parts of this continent. In all societies there are off-casts; this impure part serves as our precursors or pioneers; my father himself was one of that class, but he came upon honest principles, and was therefore one of the few who held fast; by good conduct and temperance, he transmitted to me his fair inheritance, when not above one in fourteen of his contemporaries had the same good fortune.

He also championed Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, stating that it was not incompatible with Christian beliefs. He was widely rumored to be an adulterer, and in 1872 the Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly published a story about his affair with Elizabeth Richards Tilton, the wife of his friend and former co-worker Theodore Tilton.

The 24 character strengths are organized under the six virtues of: wisdom and knowledge; humanity; justice; courage; temperance; and transcendence. Wisdom and Knowledge – Strengths of wisdom and knowledge are cognitive strengths related to the acquisition and use of information.
xxx/ellauri442.html on line 366: The resulting framework is known as the VIA classification and comprises 24 positive traits, that is, character strengths, which are assumed to reflect in six broad domains of virtuous conduct. The 24 character strengths comprise (arranged according to their assigned virtues): creativity, curiosity, judgment, love-of-learning, and perspective (virtue of wisdom), bravery, honesty, perseverance, and zest (virtue of courage), kindness, love, and social intelligence (virtue of humanity), fairness, leadership, and teamwork (virtue of justice), forgiveness, humility, prudence, and self-regulation (virtue of temperance), and appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, humor, and spirituality (virtue of transcendence).
xxx/ellauri442.html on line 377: Creativity, curiosity, love of learning, persistence, leadership, and self-regulation, in addition to zest, are consistently predictive of engagement (boys). while for a life of meaning, spirituality, beauty, curiosity, perspective, and social intelligence, in addition to gratitude are needed (girls). Kindness and teamwork (in addition to love) feed into positive relationships (girls) and people high in perspective and persistence (in addition to zest) also achieved higher scores in accomplishment (boys). It is important to remember that the abovementioned results are restricted to one’s own well-being and that they do not cover the contribution of character strengths to the well-being of others as outlined in this criterion. While humility and prudence yielded only weak effect sizes within the small-scale meta-analysis, this might not be the case if the good life of others (partners, work colleagues, social groups) were at all considered. Strengths of temperance, justice, and transcendence have been shown to be especially reflective of alcohol abstinence among college students.
