Temperance

"Temperance does not imply narrowness, but greatness of soul.” –St Josemaria Escriva 

Temperance is not about saying no to one thing.  It is about saying yes to everything.  If you do not limit yourself, you will be all consumed with a few things, thereby acquiring narrowness.  If you are temperate, you will have room for all things good and acquire a great soul.
