One maxim that exemplifies this transformative potential reads: "True goodness is not merely ng right, but ng it for the right reasons."
This profound observation emphasizes the importance of intention in our actions. True virtue lies not only in performing good deeds but in ng so with a genuine desire to uplift others and contribute positively to society. Maxims and Reflections encourages us to align our actions with our values and to strive for a life of purpose and integrity.
Timeless Wisdom for Contemporary Readers
