Virtue is in the mountains...


"Virtue is in the mountains, in the stony villages" (Peter Levi, In Memory of George Seferis)

A line worthy of being embroidered!

It reminds me of one of the analects of Confucius:

The wise find pleasure in water.
The virtuous find pleasure in mountains.

Or (alternatively):

The wise man admires water, the kind man admires mountains.
