📒 Zeal, when it is a virtue, is a dangerous one


📖Meaning
According to this saying, "good zeal" cannot exist. It seems that zeal is inherently dangerous. When zeal is not a virtue, by definition it is not good. When zeal is a virtue, according to this saying it is dangerous, which is also not good. This saying relies heavily on paradox for its effect.

Note: zeal (noun) = enormous energy or enthusiasm for a cause or an objective
virtue (noun) = quality regarded as morally good in a person
