Well then, is it Practical Wisdom which in this case offers

opposition: for that is the strongest principle? The supposition

is absurd, for we shall have the same man uniting Practical

Wisdom and Imperfect Self-Control, and surely no single person

would maintain that it is consistent with the character of

Practical Wisdom to do voluntarily what is very wrong; and

besides we have shown before that the very mark of a man of this

character is aptitude to act, as distinguished from mere

knowledge of what is right; because he is a man conversant with

particular details, and possessed of all the other virtues.
