Temperance

Cardinal Virtue of Temperance from Judaism, Plato, adapted by Augustine, Ambrose, Aquinas, and here continued by Clive Staples Lewis:

"One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting everyone else to give it up.  This is not the Christian way.  An individual Christian may see fit to give up all sorts of things for special reasons --marriage, or meat, or beer, or the cinema; but he moment he starts saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken a wrong turn."
