Equanimity without apathy.
Joyfulness without elation. Compassion without sentimentality. Love without
attachment.
Aristotle said that a virtue
stands between two vices, between deficiency and excess. So courage, for
example, is the midpoint between cowardice and foolhardiness. Therefore a
virtue is a personal quality held in the right degree, and created and
maintained by habit.
