Quote by Friedrich Von Schlegel

Virtue is reason which has become energy.

Virtue is reason which has become energy.

Summary

This quote suggests that virtue is not simply an idea or concept, but rather is embodied and put into action. It implies that true virtue is not merely a theoretical understanding; it is the application of reason and moral principles into our actions and behavior. When one's reasoning becomes energized and translated into virtuous behavior, it becomes a driving force that propels individuals to do what is morally right. In other words, virtue is the transformative power of reason actively manifesting as ethical behavior.
