Maimonides (~1168) A treatise on the Soul
[4.3a]   Should one’s soul be ill … If the body loses its harmony, and moves to one extreme or another, then one moves to reverse the process by moving to the other extreme until the body recovers its harmony …
[4.3b]   the miser must be taught to be a spendthrift
