Vices Quotes

Any of us can achieve virtue, if by virtue we merely mean the avoidance of the vices that do not attract us Picture Quote #1

I have never, in all my various travels, seen but two sorts of people I mean men and women, who always have been, and ever will be, the same. The same vices and the same follies have been the fruit of all ages, though sometimes under different names Picture Quote #1

One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don’t share ideas Picture Quote #1

Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases Picture Quote #1

There was only today to throw yourself into without thinking about tomorrow, let alone forever. To keep you from thinking, there was liquor, an ocean’s worth at least, all the usual vices and plenty of rope to hang yourself with. Love is a beautiful liar Picture Quote #1

Beware of knowing your virtues; you may lose them. Beware of knowing your vices; you may forgive them Picture Quote #1

Cruelty to animals is one of the most significant vices of a low and ignoble people. Wherever one notices them, they constitute a sign of ignorance and brutality which cannot be painted over even by all the evidence of wealth and luxury Picture Quote #1

An army is a nation within a nation, it is one of the vices of courage Picture Quote #1

Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men: courage, and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace, and the vices of peace are the vices of old men: mistrust and caution Picture Quote #1

Unless the reformer can invent something which substitutes attractive virtues for attractive vices, he will fail Picture Quote #1

Truly, this vice is never to be compared with any other vice because it surpasses the enormity of all vices... It defiles everything, stains everything, pollutes everything. And as for itself, it permits nothing pure, nothing clean, nothing other than filth Picture Quote #1

The object of a comedy is not to correct morals or ridicule the vices of society; no, a comedy should depict the discrepancies between life and purpose, should be the fruit of bitter indignation aroused by the degradation of human dignity, should be sarcasm, and not an epigram, convulsive laughter and not an amused grin, should be written with bile and not diluted salt, in a word, it should embrace life in its highest significance Picture Quote #1

We may form free constitutions, but our vices will destroy them; we may enact laws, but they will not protect us Picture Quote #1

Simple ignorance has in its time been complimented by the names of most of the vices, and of all the virtues Picture Quote #1

If you would reform the world from its errors and vices, begin by enlisting the mothers Picture Quote #1

Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move. Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society. The social ramble ain’t restful. Avoid running at all times. Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you Picture Quote #1

No one can shed light on vices he does not have or afflictions he has ever experienced Picture Quote #1

To exterminate our popular vices is a work of far more importance to the character and happiness of our citizens than any other improvements in our system of education Picture Quote #1

One of my last few vices is coffee, but with a spot of almond or soymilk, it’s never tasted better! Picture Quote #1

I’m a sucker for fries. It’s definitely one of my biggest vices. My biggest savory vice for sure Picture Quote #1

A government by the passions of the multitude, or, no less correctly, according to the vices, and ambitions of their leaders is a democracy Picture Quote #1

There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money; luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures; ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer Picture Quote #1

Vices and virtues are of a strange nature, for the more we have, the fewer we think we have Picture Quote #1

Some vices only lay hold of us by means of others, and these, like branches, fall on removal of the trunk Picture Quote #1

Of all the vices, avarice is the most generally detested; it is the effect of an avidity common to all men; it is because men hate those from whom they can expect nothing. The greedy misers rail at sordid misers Picture Quote #1

To a philosophic eye, the vices of the clergy are far less dangerous than their virtues Picture Quote #1
