Temperance, that virtue without pride, and fortune without envy, that gives indolence of body, with an equality of mind; the best guardian of youth and support of old age: the precept of reason, as well as religion, and physician of the soul as well as the body; the tutelar goddess of health, and universal medicine of life.
—Sir William Temple
A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
