Virtues Quotes (page 24)

Self-love is no part of morality. Indeed it is exactly its counterpart. It is the sole antagonist of virtue leading us constantly by our propensities to self-gratification in violation of our moral duties to others. Thomas Jefferson
[C. S. Lewis] showed me that newness is no virtue and oldness is no vice. Truth and beauty and goodness are not determined by when they exist. Nothing is inferior for being old, and nothing is valuable for being modern. This has freed me from the tyranny of novelty and opened for me the wisdom of the ages. John Piper
Maybe there ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue, they's just what people does. Some things folks do is nice and some ain't so nice, and that's all any man's got a right to say. John Steinbeck
Thomas Jefferson quote: "Everything is useful which contributes to fix in the..."
Everything is useful which contributes to fix in the principles and practices of virtue. Thomas Jefferson
John Milton quote: "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw..."

There is a constant suspicion that headache and giddiness are to be ascribed to philosophy, and hence all practising or making trial of virtue in the higher sense is absolutely stopped; for a man is always fancying that he is being made ill, and is in constant anxiety about the state of his body. Plato
Francois de La Rochefoucauld quote: "We do not despise all those with vices, but we do despise all..."
We do not despise all those with vices, but we do despise all those without a single virtue. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The vanity of existence is revealed in the whole form existence assumes: in the infiniteness of time and space contrasted with the finiteness of the individual in both; in the fleeting present as the sole form in which actuality exists; in the contingency and relativity of all things; in continual becoming without being; in continual desire without satisfaction; in the continual frustration of striving of which life consists. . . Time is that by virtue of which everything becomes nothingness... Arthur Schopenhauer
Matthew Henry quote: "Gratior est pulchro veniens de corpore virtus—Virtue appears..."
Gratior est pulchro veniens de corpore virtus—Virtue appears peculiarly graceful when associated with beauty. Matthew Henry
there was no greater natural advantage in life than having an enemy overestimate your faults, unless it was to have a friend underestimate your virtues. Mario Puzo
Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families. Benjamin Rush
There is a place within each of us where we cannot hide from the truth, where virtue sits as judge. To admit the truth of our actions is to go before that court, where process is irrelevant. Good and evil are intents, and intent is without excuse. R. A. Salvatore
Ayn Rand quote: "I want to be prepared to claim the greatest virtue of all -..."
I want to be prepared to claim the greatest virtue of all - that I was a man who made money Ayn Rand
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Conscience is the virtue of observers and not of agents of..."
Conscience is the virtue of observers and not of agents of action. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Health, learning and virtue will ensure your happiness; they will giveyou a quiet conscience, private esteem and public honour. Thomas Jefferson
