Description: In both temperate and polar regions, this passive motion along a concentration gradient, can get a current going. And that is the starting point of the global conveyor called thermohaline circulation. This is how a simple concept becomes the mechanism underlying one of the largest and most important systems on our planet.

Isaac Newton

God made and governs the world invisibly, and has commanded us to love and worship him and no other God; to honor our parents and masters, and love our neighbours as ourselves; and to be temperate, just, and peaceable, and to be merciful even to brute beasts.

English Mathematician

Vitruvius

In setting out the walls of a city the choice of a healthy situation is of the first importance: it should be on high ground, neither subject to fogs nor rains; its aspects should be neither violently hot nor intensely cold, but temperate in both respects.

Roman Author

Gregory Benford

In temperate zones, winter is the best insecticide; it keeps the bugs in check. The tropics enjoy no such respite, so plants there have developed a wide range of alkaloids that kill off nosy insects and animals.

American Physicist

Julian Barratt

We did have that, in the background of the character and the show, 'Mindhorn,' set on the Isle of Man, that every episode they would have to mention the temperate microclimate of the Isle of Man.

English Comedian

Virginia Woolf

The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.

British Author

Paul Samuelson

I decided that there was only one place to make money in the mutual fund business, as there is only one place for a temperate man to be in a saloon: behind the bar and not in front of it.

American Economist

Aristotle

We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.

Greek Philosopher

William Lyon Mackenzie King

Fortunately, the Canadian people in all their habits, are essentially a temperate people.

Canadian Politician

Arthur Keith

A drunkard is one thing, and a temperate man is quite another.

Use 'temperate' to describe moderate actions or climates, not strong emotions or weather.

Moderation Key

'Temperate' often implies neutrality, without any strong leanings or bias.

Neutral Connotation

'Temperate' refers to mild weather, not cold arctic or hot tropical climates.

Climatic Context

'Temperate' highlights self-control over anger, excitement, or indulgence.

Emotional Restraint

'Temperate' can reflect a thoughtful and measured approach to situations.

Measured Responses

Use 'temperate' for specific regions between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn only.

Geographic Precision

'Temperate' zones experience seasons but without extreme temperatures.

Not Extreme
