Damascius,
Life of Isidore fr. 61 Zintzen (22 Asmus). The complete passage reads thus: "Decorum and moderation are not only relief and removal of the corresponding evils -– lack of decorum and of moderation –- but also active and voluntary lives. And while the former converts what is worst in us into what is best, the latter [sc. is concerned with] ordering and arranging all passionate states of the soul." See also
