Temperance-Intemperance

Half the vices which the world condemns most loudly have seeds of good in them and require moderate use rather than total abstinence. (Samuel Butler)

Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit. (W Somerset)

Temperance is the acknowledged ruler of the pleasures and desires, and no pleasure ever masters Love; he is their master and they are his servants; and if he conquers them he must be temperate indeed. (Plato)

Intemperance is the only vulgarity. (Emerson)

Hunger and satiety cue changes in response to how much or how little one consumes. Should one grow in response to eating more, temperance rises to a new level of demand.
