Summary

This quote suggests that virtues, similar to the Muses from Greek mythology who were always depicted together, are not typically found in isolation. It implies that individuals cannot possess only one virtuous quality in their character, as virtues are interrelated and tend to coexist. In order for a person to have a good principle or virtue, it is believed that they must possess a collection of virtues within themselves. This quote highlights the interconnectedness of virtues and implies that they are best seen and observed when they are grouped together.
