When virtue has slept it will arise more vigorous.

When virtue has slept it will arise more vigorous.

Summary

This quote suggests that when our moral integrity or virtue has been temporarily dormant or inactive, it will eventually awaken and become stronger than before. It implies that periods of rest or decline in our virtuous behavior can actually serve as opportunities for self-reflection and personal growth. Rather than viewing moments of moral lapse as permanent setbacks, this quote encourages us to see them as temporary pauses that ultimately contribute to our overall development and resilience.

All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.
