About This Quote
The way to keep your virtue intact is to keep your vices active. If you are constantly doing bad things, then you are keeping your vices active. When people reach a point where they are constantly doing bad things, it is best to stop and reflect on the problems in life. For example, if you are constantly cheating people out of money, it is best to think about why you do this. Is it because you really want money? Is it because you think you deserve something? Or maybe you just need the money so you can feed your addiction, whatever the case maybe there is a reason behind your actions and if you could discover that reason, then your life would be much easier.
