They in their desire for health commit themselves to physicians, but these people show no willingness to cast off the soul-sickness of their untrained grossness by resorting to wise men....

Philo

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.
