There is an old paradox, "Where there
is self-denial there is no virtue" The
meaning is plain. Virtue is the habit of
choosing the good. If this habit be sup
posed fully formed it is obvious that a
state must be reached in which the good is
chosen quite easily, without struggle, with
out self-denial. The ideally virtuous man
is one who never has to deny himself, for
his constant tendency is to choose the good
in every case. Self-denial is then not to
be considered as one Of the virtues 1t is
a necessary element in every virtuous life
because it is one of the principal conditions
