Don't let these men eat too much either. If they do, their bodies will bloat and their minds will bloat right along with them. They should exercise, but not to exhaustion. This will cool down their natural heat without draining it completely, and burn off their excess fiery energy. Games will help too. Moderate fun relaxes the mind and brings it back into balance. People who tend toward sluggishness or cold stiffness don't have much risk of anger, but they face worse problems: cowardice, gloominess, despair, and constant suspicion. These types need to be softened, comforted, and cheered up. Since we need completely different remedies for anger and for sullenness — in fact, these two problems require opposite treatments — we should always focus on whichever one is winning the battle.
Neither should such men be over-fed: for if so, their bodies will swell, and their minds will swell with them. Such men ought to take exercise, stopping short, however, of fatigue, in order that their natural heat may be abated, but not exhausted, and their excess of fiery spirit may be worked off. Games also will be useful: for moderate pleasure relieves the mind and brings it to a proper balance. With those temperaments which incline to moisture, or dryness and stiffness, there is no danger of anger, but there is fear of greater vices, such as cowardice, moroseness, despair, and suspiciousness: such dispositions therefore ought to be softened, comforted, and restored to cheerfulness: and since we must make use of different remedies for anger and for sullenness, and these two vices require not only unlike, but absolutely opposite modes of treatment, let us always attack that one of them which is gaining the mastery.
