Men are honored for having power and wealth, or being born to it. But the goods of wealth and position mean nothing without virtue. Only the virtuous person deserves honor and is entitled to be proud . Honour may be desired more than is right, or less, or from the right sources and in the right way. Vanity and undue humbleness are the excesses of proper pride.
Good temper is a mean with respect to anger.
The person who is angry at the right things and towards the right people, and also in the right way, at the right time and for the right length of time, is praised. This will be the good-tempered man. The good-tempered man is not revengeful, but rather tends to make allowances. The good-tempered man controls his anger properly. It is not easy to define how and with whom and for what reasons and how long one ought to be angry, or within what limits a person does this rightly or wrongly.
