Philo Quote

The health of the soul is to have its faculties, reason, high spirit and desire happily tempered, with the reason in command and reining in the other two, like restive horses. The special name of this health is temperance, that is σωφροσύνη or thought-preserving, for it creates a preservation of one of our powers, namely that of wise-thinking.
