At Ease in Goodness | July 21, 2014
Moral resolve is like this. A noble
person does not do good because of willpower. She does it through a
combination of, on the one hand, modesty about self, and, on the other
hand, faith in a higher purpose, a higher meaning, in powers more potent
than self-will. Such a person is not moral through gritted teeth. She
is at ease in goodness.
—David Brazier, "Other-Power"
