Virtue Quotes

Virtue is its own reward. There’s a pleasure in doing good which sufficiently pays itself Picture Quote #1

Consistency is a virtue for trains: what we want from a philosopher is insights, whether he comes by them consistently or not Picture Quote #1

Discourse on virtue and they pass by in droves. Whistle and dance the shimmy, and you’ve got an audience Picture Quote #1

Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired Picture Quote #1

Nothing exists except by virtue of a disequilibrium, an injustice. All existence is a theft paid for by other existences; no life flowers except on a cemetery Picture Quote #1

The virtue of dress rehearsals is that they are a free show for a select group of artists and friends of the author, and where for one unique evening the audience is almost expurgated of idiots Picture Quote #1

Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road Picture Quote #1

There is no virtue in being uncritical; nor is it a habit to which the young are given. But criticism is only the burying beetle that gets rid of what is dead, and, since the world lives by creative and constructive forces, and not by negation and destruction, it is better to grow up in the company of prophets than of critics Picture Quote #1

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

Education is not merely a means for earning a living or an instrument for the acquisition of wealth. It is an initiation into life of spirit, a training of the human soul in the pursuit of truth and the practice of virtue Picture Quote #1

Just as humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy Picture Quote #1

There is in us more of the appearance of sense and virtue than of the reality Picture Quote #1

Virtue and vice are both prophets; the first, of certain good; the second, of pain or else of penitence Picture Quote #1

No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people, but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue Picture Quote #1

Virtue dwells at the head of a river, to which we cannot get but by rowing against the stream Picture Quote #1

Friendship with a man is friendship with his virtue, and does not admit of assumptions of superiority Picture Quote #1

The regular path of virtue is to be pursued without any bend, and from no view to emolument Picture Quote #1

Virtue, thou in rags, may challenge more than vice set off with all the trim of greatness Picture Quote #1

I love a serious preacher, who speaks for my sake and not for his own; who seeks my salvation, and not his own vain glory. He best deserves to be heard who uses speech only to clothe his thoughts, and his thoughts only to promote truth and virtue Picture Quote #1

Virtue is not to be considered in the light of mere innocence, or abstaining from harm; but as the exertion of our faculties in doing good Picture Quote #1

I say that virtue is really all about enjoying yourself, living fully; but of course it is far from obvious what living fully actually means Picture Quote #1

For a few thousand years, women had no history. Marriage was our calling, and meekness our virtue. Over the last century, in stuttering succession, we have gained a voice, a vote, a room, a playing field of our own. Decorously or defiantly, we now approach what surely qualifies as the final frontier Picture Quote #1

Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it Picture Quote #1

There can be no beauty if it is paid for by human injustice, nor truth that passes over injustice in silence, nor moral virtue that condones it Picture Quote #1

Success is no proof of virtue. In the case of a book, quick acclaim is presumptive evidence of a lack of substance and originality Picture Quote #1

The time has arrived when patience becomes a crime and mayhem appears garbed in a manner of virtue Picture Quote #1

To wipe off the froth of falsehood from the foaming lips of inebriated virtue, when fresh from the sexless orgies of morality and reeling from the delirious riot of religion, may doubtless be a charitable office Picture Quote #1

It is, indeed, a trial to maintain the virtue of humility when one can’t help being right Picture Quote #1

.. and certain that life consisted of a few simple signals and decisions; that death took root at the moment of birth and man’s only recourse thereafter was to water and tend it; that propagation was a fiction; consequently, society was a fiction too; that fathers and teachers, by virtue of being fathers and teachers, were guilty of a grievous sin Picture Quote #1
