, s. Iv. , n. 4, p. 79), it is clear that no moral virtue can come into act withoutprudence: for it is the judgment of the prudent man that must definein each case the _golden mean_ in relation to ourselves, which everymoral virtue aims at. Thus, without prudence, fortitude passes intorashness, vindictive justice into harshness, clemency into weakness, religion into superstition.
3. But may not one with no prudence to guide him hit upon the _goldenmean_ by some happy impulse, and thus do an act... of virtue? We answer, he may do a good act, and if you will, a virtuous act, but not an actof virtue, not an act proceeding from a pre-existent habit in thedoer. The act is like a good stroke made by chance, not by skill; andlike such a stroke, it cannot be readily repeated at the agent'spleasure. (See c. V. , s. I. , n. 4, p. 66; and Ar. , _Eth_. , II. , iv. , 2. ) 4.
