4 Maccabees 1:35
Print
The sensible mind curbs the drives of the appetite, keeping them in check, and clear thinking silences the impulses of our bodies.
For the emotions of the appetites are restrained, checked by the temperate mind, and all the impulses of the body are bridled by reason.
For the passions of the appetites are restrained, checked by the temperate mind, and all the impulses of the body are bridled by reason.
For the emotions of the appetites are restrained, checked by the temperate mind, and all the impulses of the body are bridled by reason.
