Virtue begins with understanding and is fulfilled by courage.

Demosthenes
About This Quote

The true definition of virtue is the character traits and qualities of a virtuous person. The key to becoming a virtuous person is learning to understand and develop those qualities. The most important thing we can do as we grow in our understanding of virtue is to keep an open mind and accept things as they are, not as we wish them to be. If you are trying to learn about virtue, start with understanding, don’t focus on courage.
