The greatest virtue consists in flourishing to the greatest of our capacities.

About This Quote

The greatness of any human being lies in the greatness of their ability to perform. It is impossible for us to know what our capacities are. We cannot accurately predict what we will be capable of achieving. Still, we can strive to achieve as much as we can and let that be our standard.

To do otherwise is to give up on ourselves and settle for mediocrity. So long as we are able to do a job well, we have a duty to do it well.
