“Why is it that the world has confessed its inability to inculcate virtue in the young? Very simply because it has not correlated morality to any love nobler than self-love. Things fulfill their proper role only when integrated into a larger whole. Most lives are like doors without hinges, or sleeves without coats, or bows without violins; that is, unrelated to wholes or purposes which give them meaning.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Seven Virtues)
