Every day confirms my opinion on the superiority of a vicious life - and if Virtue is not its own reward I don't know any other stipend annexed to it.

Lord Byron In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy. Lord Byron Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie. Horace Walpole Virtue knows to a farthing what it has lost by not having been vice. Horace Walpole Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace. Charles Spurgeon If virtue promises happiness, prosperity and peace, then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us, progress is always an approach toward it. Epictetus Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love. George Bernard Shaw Virtue is insufficient temptation. George Bernard Shaw Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it. George Bernard Shaw The love of economy is the root of all virtue. George Bernard Shaw What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married? George Bernard Shaw Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil. Albert Camus There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy. Chanakya If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what is the value of other ornamentation? Chanakya Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will. Saint Thomas Aquinas Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them. Saint Thomas Aquinas Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave. Indira Gandhi God has been very good to me, for I never dwell upon anything wrong which a person has done, so as to remember it afterwards. If I do remember it, I always see some other virtue in that person. Saint Teresa of Avila Our government is founded upon the intelligence of the people. I for one do not despair of the republic. I have great confidence in the virtue of the great majority of the people, and I cannot fear the result. Andrew Jackson Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue; and independence I will ever secure by contracting my wants, though I were to live on a barren heath. Mary Wollstonecraft |
