Accept Your Strengths

"Because you're from Abnegation," he says, "and it's when you're acting selflessly that you are at your bravest." (Chapter 24 par.76)

Four always has something wise to say. This is one of his impassioned arguments about how the virtues of the five factions can work together. Tris is braver; and more powerful, when she's being selfless. And her selflessness seems to come from her family. In that sense, her power lies not in her faction identity, but in her personal relationships. And family is something that crosses faction boundaries. I agree with Four's argument, you are your strongest when you show your roots and realize your natural abilities.
