Acts virtuous and vitious
Virtues — Vices

In regard to the efforts, however, thus much
is to be understood. Though effort is necessary, what
is not necessary is that the time of the effort should
be the very time when the exercise in question is
given to the virtue. All that is necessary is that the
act in question should be of the sort of some
of those to the exercise of which an effort is in most
men is necessary. By habit that which in the first
instance required effort, comes by degrees to be done
without effort: Take for instance the confining anger
within the limits prescribed by prudence and benevolence.
If in this instance there could be no virtue without effort exerted
by the individual in question at the very time in question
then on that supposition virtue when arrived in its most consummate
state, would cease to be virtue.
