"Vice does not lie in having desires, but in the inability to submit them to the rules of reason; it is not a matter, therefore, of whether or not you have certain inclinations, but of the ability to govern them or to give them up.

Vice does not lie in having desires, but in the inability to submit them to the rules of reason; it is not a matter, therefore, of whether or not you have certain inclinations, but of the ability to govern them or to give them up.
"Romanian
"Viciul nu stă în faptul că ai dorințe, ci în incapacitatea de a le supune regulilor rațiunii; nu e vorba, așadar, de faptul că aveți sau nu anumite înclinații, ci de capacitatea de a le guverna sau de a renunța la ele."
