“Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good.

Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
