"Persuasiveness cheating e'en the subtlest mind."

And so since this kind of Imperfect Self-Control is more unjust,

it is also more disgraceful than that in respect of Anger, and is

simply Imperfect Self-Control, and Vice in a certain sense.

Again, no man feels pain in being insolent, but every one who

acts through Anger does act with pain; and he who acts insolently

does it with pleasure. If then those things are most unjust with

which we have most right to be angry, then Imperfect

Self-Control, arising from Lust, is more so than that arising

from Anger: because in Anger there is no insolence.[15]
