Moral excellence is a matter of habit

The Prime Minister herself has expressed her displeasure at known bigwigs who, according to her, had amassed crores of takas illegally, and she is convinced that the allegations of corruption against them are substantial and have merit. They are being able to slip through the net because of technicalities. As of today, reportedly, more than 200 high profile accused have obtained stay order on the cases against them filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). And most of the stay orders have been on technical grounds and not on the merit of the case.
No nation, ancient or modern, ever lost the liberty of freely speaking, writing, or publishing their sentiments, but forthwith lost their liberty in general and became slaves.Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
