“How Do We Become Virtuous?
There are two kinds of virtue:
1 Intellectual virtue – Comes from learning and experience. It takes time and teaching to develop.
2 Moral virtue – Comes from practice and habit. It is developed by doing good actions over and over again.
The word "ethics" comes from the Greek word "ethos," which means habit. This tells us that moral virtue isn’t something we are born with—it’s something we develop by practicing good habits.”
-The Nichomachean Ethics - For Everyone, Aristotle, Kindle Edition, pg. 35-36
