A brave man is thus one who is fearless in facing a noble death. The next virtue is temperance. It is a mean with regard to bodily pleasures. A temperate man is moderately disposed with regard to pleasures and pains. He loves such pleasures as right reason dictates.
Temperance keeps the desiring part of the soul in harmony with reason.
Generosity is the third virtue which Aristotle examines. With regard to property, generosity is a mean between wastefulness and stinginess. A generous man will give to the right person, the right amounts and at the right times. He will also take proper care of his possessions. Generosity does not depend on the quantity of the giving but on the habit of the giver, which takes into account the amount which the giver himself has and is able to give away.
