a better way

Self control is among those foundational human qualities. Those with it may not amount to anything good, but those without it never do. And it is one of those qualities which need not be moderated: a person can be too reserved, but one can never be too self controlled. Indeed, an excess of reserve is best resolved by an excercise of self control.

(And do I have much of it? No, alas.)
