Nicomachean Ethics
Virtues of character, such as liberality and temperance, corresponding to the appetitive part of the soul.
Wisdom or intelligence and Prudence are intellectual, Liberality and Temperance are moral virtues.
whereas moral or ethical virtue is the product of habit (ethos), and has indeed derived its name, with a slight variation of form, from that word.
We assume therefore that moral virtue is the quality of acting in the best way in relation to pleasures and pains, and that vice is the opposite.
