Summary

This quote suggests that our actions define who we are. In order to possess qualities such as justice, temperance, and bravery, we must actively engage in corresponding actions.

By consistently embodying these qualities through our actions, we cultivate and reinforce them within ourselves, ultimately shaping our character and becoming individuals who embody these virtues.
