Summary

This quote suggests that truly virtuous individuals do not continuously boast or showcase their morality. Instead, they embody their virtues naturally and effortlessly, so much so that they may not even be extremely conscious of their virtuous actions or characteristics. True virtue is embedded in the way they think, the choices they make, and the behaviors they exhibit. It implies that those who constantly bring attention to their own virtues may not possess the same sincere level of morality as those who display it more subtly.
