4 Maccabees 1:28

²⁶In the soul it is arrogance, and love of money, and vaingloriousness, and contention, and faithlessness, and the evil eye.

²⁷In the body it is greediness and gormandizing, and solitary gluttony.

— 4 Maccabees 1:28 —

²⁹And reasoning, the universal husbandman, purging, and pruning these severally, and binding round, and watering, and transplanting, in every way improves the materials of the morals and affections.

³⁰For reasoning is the leader of the virtues, but it is the sole ruler of the passions. Observe then first, through the very things which stand in the way of temperance, that reasoning is absolute ruler of the passions.
