Virtue Quotations
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions. Gilbert K. Chesterton The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Winston Churchill Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
