Text Quotes
If a man has no vices, he is in great danger of making vices about his virtues, and there’s a spectacle (Vices Quotes)
If the children are untaught, their ignorance and vices will in future life cost us much dearer in their consequences than it would have done in their correction by a good education (Vices Quotes)
Alas! Man’s vices, horrible as they are supposed to be, contain the positive proof of his taste for the infinite (Vices Quotes)
Our religion is made to eradicate vices, instead it encourages them, covers them, and nurtures them (Vices Quotes)
Jehovah was not a moral God. He had all the vices and he lacked all the virtues. He generally carried out all his threats, but he never faithfully kept a promise (Vices Quotes)
My experience has taught me that a man who has no vices has damned few virtues (Vices Quotes)
Do not spill thy soul in running hither and yon, grieving over the mistakes and the vices of others. The one person whom it is most necessary to reform is yourself (Vices Quotes)
Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency (Vices Quotes)
Some vices miss what is right because they are deficient, others because they are excessive, in feelings or in actions, while virtue finds and chooses the mean (Vices Quotes)
We often credit ourselves with vices the reverse of what we have, thus when weak we boast of our obstinacy (Vices Quotes)
Whatever vices and corruptions men see in the lives of their ministers will not be attributed to the depravity of their old nature which still abides in them, but to the gospel (Vices Quotes)
Amongst all other vices there is none I hate more than cruelty, both by nature and judgment, as the extremest of all vices (Vices Quotes)
If we tread our vices under our feet, we make of them a ladder by which to rise to higher things (Vices Quotes)
A prince must be prudent enough to know how to escape the bad reputation of those vices that would lose the state for him, and must protect himself from those that will not lose it for him, if this is possible; but if he cannot, he need not concern himself unduly if he ignores these less serious vices (Vices Quotes)
One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies (Vices Quotes)
Nothing is quite so wretchedly corrupt as an aristocracy which has lost its power but kept its wealth and which still has endless leisure to devote to nothing but banal enjoyments. All its great thoughts and passionate energy are things of the past, and nothing but a host of petty, gnawing vices now cling to it like worms to a corpse (Vices Quotes)
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher (Vices Quotes)
I have had to experience so much stupidity, so many vices, so much error, so much nausea, disillusionment and sorrow, just in order to become a child again and begin anew. I had to experience despair, I had to sink to the greatest mental depths, to thoughts of suicide, in order to experience grace (Vices Quotes)
It is not the responsibility of knights errant to discover whether the afflicted, the enchained and the oppressed whom they encounter on the road are reduced to these circumstances and suffer this distress for their vices, or for their virtues: the knight’s sole responsibility is to succour them as people in need, having eyes only for their sufferings, not for their misdeeds (Vices Quotes)
The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same form of mental pathology does not make these people sane (Vices Quotes)
He who seeks to regulate everything by law is more likely to arouse vices than to reform them. It is best to grant what cannot be abolished, even though it be in itself harmful. How many evils spring from luxury, envy, avarice, drunkenness and the like, yet these are tolerated because they cannot be prevented by legal enactments (Vices Quotes)
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man’s face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even (Vices Quotes)
In uncertainty I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed most of their vices are attempted short cuts to love. When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror (Vices Quotes)
It is not the most distinguished achievements that men’s virtues or vices may be best discovered; but very often an action of small note. An casual remark or joke shall distinguish a person’s real character more than the greatest sieges, or the most important battles (Vices Quotes)
Therefore, in order not to have to rob his subjects, to be able to defend himself, not to become poor and contemptible, and not to be forced to become rapacious, a prince must consider it of little importance if he incurs the reputation of being a miser, for this is one of the vices that permits him to rule (Vices Quotes)
Often, city fathers blamed prostitutes for the disease, and some threatened to brand their cheeks with hot iron if they did not desist from their vices (Vices Quotes)
We make a ladder for ourselves of our vices, if we trample those same vices underfoot (Vices Quotes)
The general tendency to be censorious of the vices to which one has not been tempted (Vices Quotes)
It is the business of a comic poet to paint the vices and follies of human kind (Vices Quotes)
A thirsty ambition for truth and virtue, and a frenzy to conquer all lies and vices which are not recognized as such nor desire to be; herein consists the heroic spirit of the philosopher (Vices Quotes)
