“Let us learn about virtue from the Gospels… We know that
the greatest goal of perfect virtue is for virtue to have no limitation or
final goal. There is only one limit to virtue: it must strive to be endless.
Possibly the perfection of our human nature consists in our having a vision of
beauty within ourselves which is such that we always desire an even greater
beauty… it is dangerous to stop in this forward movement, for every good thing
is limited only by that which stands in opposition to it . . . In the same way
that the end of life is the beginning of death, a halt on the path to virtue is
the beginning of the road to vice."
St. Gregory of Nyssa
