Man cannot be uplifted; he must be seduced into virtue.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker argues that people can't be lifted toward goodness by exhortation or force; they have to be charmed into it. Virtue works better when made attractive and tempting than when preached. It is a wry, cynical claim about human nature, offered as the speaker's view rather than a rule.
