"Temperance, in the nobler sense, does not mean……" — John Ruskin

"Temperance, in the nobler sense, does not mean a subdued and imperfect energy; it does not mean a stopping short in any good thing, as in love and in faith; but it means the power which governs the most intense energy, and prevents its acting in way but as it ought."

John Ruskin
