Quote by Thomas Carlyle

Virtue is like health: the harmony of the whole man.

Virtue is like health: the harmony of the whole man.

Summary

This quote suggests that virtue can be compared to the concept of health. Just like health is the state of harmony in the entire body, virtue embodies the harmony of the whole person. It implies that virtue is not just limited to specific actions or behaviors, but rather encompasses the overall well-being and character of an individual. Similar to how good health is achieved through balanced physical, mental, and emotional states, virtue requires a holistic approach to moral and ethical conduct in all aspects of life.
