Full Idea
It is not thought strange that men everywhere should give the name of virtue to those actions which amongst them are judged praiseworthy.

A Reaction
Wrong. Being very successful in sport is considered praiseworthy, but not virtuous. We praise actions because they are virtuous, so the virtue cannot be constituted merely by the praise.
