Temperance

TEMPERANCE includes the timely use of that which is to be used, and the timely letting alone of that which is to be let alone. Temperance always involves total abstinence from something. It is sheer nonsense to claim, as some do, that temperance implies the actual use of everything in moderation; that to be temperate one must indulge moderately in strychnine, and laudanum, and whisky, and wine, and turpentine.—H. Clay Trumbull.
