All are agreed that the various moral qualities are in a sense bestowed by nature: we are just, and capable of temperance, and brave, and possessed of the other virtues from the moment of our birth.

For even children and wild animals possess the natural dispositions, yet without Intelligence these may manifestly be harmful.
