The Power of Virtue

All character qualities or virtues are skills. They're not things that you either have or don't have. So an example would be laziness. Do you mean to tell me that there's no time in your life where you've ever been hard working? And so if you recognize that then it's right and proper to say I am industrious because I had shown that I've been industrious in the past. We want to accustom our children to practicing the development of virtue so that they can grow in the specific skills of virtue.
