And it is not possible for the same man to be at once a man of

Practical Wisdom and of Imperfect Self-Control: because the

character of Practical Wisdom includes, as we showed before,

goodness of moral character. And again, it is not knowledge

merely, but aptitude for action, which constitutes Practical

Wisdom: and of this aptitude the man of Imperfect Self-Control is

destitute. But there is no reason why the Clever man should not

be of Imperfect Self-Control: and the reason why some men are

occasionally thought to be men of Practical Wisdom, and yet of

Imperfect Self-Control, is this, that Cleverness differs from

Practical Wisdom in the way I stated in a former book, and is

very near it so far as the intellectual element is concerned but

differs in respect of the moral choice.
