act virtuously

Synonyms

Examples

Virtues are dispositions not only to act in particular ways, but also to feel in particular ways. To act virtuously is not, as Kant was later to think, to act against inclination; it is to act from inclination formed by the cultivation of the virtues. Alasdair MacIntyre

The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous. Niccolò Machiavelli
