Temperance is the virtue that forms or shapes a person's character so that the person uses pleasurable things in the right amounts at the right times, in the right way, and for the right reasons.

When St. Thomas talks about temperance, he is not only talking about moderating in ways that serve personal and public health, rather, he has in mind the supernatural forms of these virtues. He is talking about temperance that leads to holiness, union with God, and eternal life.

Temperance (Aquinas 101) - Fr. James Brent, O.P.
