The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Protagoras by Plato: related to one another as the parts of a face are related to the whole
face.
And do men have some one part and some another part of virtue? Or if a man
has one part, must he also have all the others?
By no means, he said; for many a man is brave and not just, or just and not
wise.
You would not deny, then, that courage and wisdom are also parts of virtue?
Most undoubtedly they are, he answered; and wisdom is the noblest of the
parts.
And they are all different from one another? I said.
Yes.
