تنظم الأخلاق في شكلٍ ثلاثي , يكون الطرفان الأول والأخير فيهما تطرف ورذيلة والوسط فضل أو فضيلة , وهكذا يكون بين التهور والجبن فضيلة الشجاعة , وبين الكسل والجشع فضيلة الطموح , وبين البخل والإسراف فضيلة الكرم , و بين الكتمان والثرثرة فضيلة الأمانة, وبين الكآبة المزاح فضيلة البشاشة , وبين محبة الخصام والتملق فضيلة الصداقة
