English term or phrase: temper
Context:
Persons of sound character temper their instinctual drives, moderate important aspects of their conduct, and especially, discipline their aggressive tendencies in the service of the greater social good.

Note: please note that following the verb "temper" is another similar verb "moderate", therefore it would be redundant to translate "temper" as "moderar".
