Summary

This quote implies that discussions about virtue and moral values often go unnoticed or unappreciated by people. However, if one presents these concepts in an entertaining or attention-grabbing manner, such as through whistling, dancing, or using catchy tactics like the shimmy, one can attract an audience and gain their attention. It speaks to the idea that the presentation or delivery of a message can sometimes be more influential than the content itself when it comes to capturing people's interest.
