"Nihil est virtute amabilius" ("Nothing is more amiable than virtue") is a quote from Cicero (De Amicitia, ch. 28).
Many of the reliefs created by Georg Klimt were commissioned works for decorative panels used by first-class Viennese cabinet makers, such as Michael Niedermoser and August Ungethüm, to decorate their furniture.
