# Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson ## Metadata - Author: [[Brandon Sanderson]] - Full Title: Wind and Truth - Category: #books ## Highlights added February 9, 2025 at 5:17 PM “A virtue is something that is valuable even if it gives you nothing. A virtue persists without payment or compensation. Positive thinking is great. Vital. Useful. But it has to remain so even if it gets you nothing. Belief, truth, honor … if these exist only to get you something, you’ve missed the storming point.” ([Location 1081](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0CPWQZNQB&location=1081))
