Virtue = Power * Wisdom

[martins name]

Here is a simple and powerful visual model of virtue that I've created:

Power is masculine, it's how far you go.

Wisdom is feminine, it's in what direction you are heading. 

Power without wisdom can take you really far in the wrong direction.

Wisdom without power takes you nowhere.

This is why women are consistently decent because they tend to go in the right direction, while they might not go so far.

This is also why men are more frequently great and more frequently terrible because they can go far but not always in the right direction.

Virtue is how far you go in the right direction, meaning the direction of heaven instead of hell. The virtuous person is both wise and powerful.

I also want to underline that it's power times wisdom and not plus.

We all have a reality based on how we perceive the world and what we know. Therefore, for the sake of communication, it is important to see things clearly and similarly.

Superb insight! 

But what lead you to conclude that virtue is the right term to use for this distinction?

Thanks!  
What else would virtue be? To me, it seems obvious.
