since just as the equal is greater in comparison with the less and
less in comparison with the greater, so the middle states of character are in excess as
compared with the defective states and defective as compared with the excessive states,
whether in the case of feelings or of actions. For instance, a brave man appears rash in
contrast with a coward and cowardly in contrast
with a rash man; similarly a temperate man appears profligate in contrast with a man
insensible to pleasure and pain, but insensible in contrast with a profligate; and a
liberal man seems prodigal in contrast with a mean man, mean in contrast with one who is
prodigal.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
