Summary

This quote implies that being a good citizen does not necessarily require the same virtues and qualities that make someone a good individual. It suggests that one can fulfill their responsibilities as a citizen, such as obeying laws and contributing to society, without embodying all the moral virtues typically associated with being a good person. In other words, being a good citizen is more about fulfilling social obligations and adhering to societal norms, rather than being morally upright.
