The man of virtue is not alone
Toku wa Ko Narazu

The phrase "The man of virtue is not alone" is not clear, because this is only half of the verse from the Analects of Confucius. The second half goes, "Always there is someone who helps".

The original term for virtue is Toku, and this is one of those words for which an equivalent cannot be found in European languages. Toku is a good act inconspicuously done, a good thought unrewarded, or a good deed uncompensated. And that Toku accumulates and transmits through the generations. In East Asian thought there are such things as Toku from previous lives or receiving one's parents' Toku. Like Karma, or like the law of conservation of energy in physics, Toku is never lost. A person of Toku is one who is often called "lucky guy" or "lucky girl", but it is not mere luck; it is the result of inevitability.
