Whether moral virtues about operations are different from those that are about passions?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that moral virtues are not divided into those which are about operations and those which are about passions. For the Philosopher says (Ethic. ii, 3) that moral virtue is "an operative habit whereby we do what is best in matters of pleasure or sorrow." Now pleasure and sorrow are passions, as stated above (Question [31], Article [1]; Question [35], Article [1]). Therefore the same virtue which is about passions is also about operations, since it is an operative habit.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, the passions are principles of external action. If therefore some virtues regulate the passions, they must, as a consequence, regulate operations also. Therefore the same moral virtues are about both passions and operations.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, the sensitive appetite is moved well or ill towards every external operation. Now movements of the sensitive appetite are passions. Therefore the same virtues that are about operations are also about passions.
