For nothing delights so much as the examples of the virtues, when they are exhibited in the morals of those who live with us and present themselves in abundance, as far as is possible.
In his personal writings, Marcus Aurelius observes that witnessing the virtues of those around us is a profound source of delight.

More from Marcus Aurelius
What remains, except to enjoy life by joining one good thing to another so as not to leave even the smallest intervals between?
The safety of life is this, to examine everything all through, what it is itself, that is its material, what the formal part; with all thy soul to do justice and to say the truth.
But if it is easy to set little value on all these things, turn to that which remains, which is to follow reason and God.
