Again1 some extremes show a certain likeness to the mean—for
instance, Rashness resembles Courage, Prodigality Liberality, whereas the extremes display
the greatest unlikeness to one another. But it is things farthest apart from each other
that logicians define as contraries, so that the farther apart things are the more
contrary they are.

Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
