Temperance (mastery over instincts)

I am reading a book about virtues by Tim Gray and Curtis Martin. The chapter on temperance had a line that really spoke to me:

"Peace of soul is a fruit only of those who have conquered themselves."

I have a long way to go on this virtue, but knowing the fruits of this virtue makes me that much more motivated to pursue it.
