Our reasonings are grounded upon two great principles, that of contradiction, in virtue of which we judge false that which involves a contradiction, and true that which is opposed or contradictory to the false Picture Quote #1

Once you’ve fallen from classical virtue, won’t have a soul for to wake up and hold you Picture Quote #1

Being tolerant does not mean acquiescing to the intolerable; it does not mean covering up disrespect; it does not mean coddling the aggressor or disguising aggression. Tolerance is the virtue that teaches us to live with the different. It teaches us to learn from and respect the different Picture Quote #1

Often the wicked prosper, while the righteous starve; yet I would never exchange my state for theirs, my virtue for their gold. For mine endures, while riches change their owner every day Picture Quote #1

Humility is the only virtue that no devil can imitate. If pride made demons out of angels, there is no doubt that humility could make angels out of demons Picture Quote #1

When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder Picture Quote #1

A vital difference between the professional man and a man of business is that money making to the professional man should, by virtue of his assumption, be incidental; to the businessman it is primary. Money has its limitations; while it may buy quantity, there is something beyond it and that is quality Picture Quote #1

If virtue were its own reward, it would no longer be a human quality, but supernatural Picture Quote #1

To refrain from evil and from strong drink and to be always, steadfast in virtue; this is the good luck Picture Quote #1

No acquisitions of guilt can compensate the loss of that solid inward comfort of mind, which is the sure companion of innocence and virtue; nor can in the least balance the evil of that horror and anxiety which, in their room, guilt introduces into our bosoms Picture Quote #1

The beauty of the animal form is in exact proportion to the amount of moral and intellectual virtue expressed by it Picture Quote #1

Virtue is not a chemical product... it is a historic product, like language and literature; and this means that if we cease to care about it, cease to cultivate it, cease to transmit its funded values, a large part of it will become meaningless, like a dead language to which we have lost the key Picture Quote #1

There is no man suddenly either excellently good or extremely evil, but grows either as he holds himself up in virtue or lets himself slide to viciousness Picture Quote #1

Cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labour to make all one glow of beauty and never cease chiselling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendour of virtue, until you shall see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine Picture Quote #1

On the country has gathered the idea of a natural way of life: of peace, innocence, and simple virtue. On the city has gathered the idea of an achieved centre of learning, communication, light. Powerful hostile associations have also developed: on the city as a place of noise, worldliness and ambition; on the country as a place of backwardness, ignorance, limitation. A contrast between country and city, as fundamental ways of life, reaches back into classical times Picture Quote #1

As you do not sweeten your mouth by saying honey, so you do not grow virtuous by merely talking of virtue Picture Quote #1

The virtue of obedience makes the will supple... It inspires the courage with which to fulfill the most difficult tasks Picture Quote #1

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter Picture Quote #1

The state of marriage is one that requires more virtue and constancy than any other; it is a perpetual exercise in mortification Picture Quote #1

A happy but miserable state in which man finds himself from time to time; sometimes he believes he is happy by loving, then suddenly he finds how miserable he is. It is all joy, it sweetens life, but it does not last. It comes and goes, but when it is active, there is no greater virtue, because it makes one supremely happy Picture Quote #1

True virtue has no limits, but goes on and on, and especially holy charity, which is the virtue of virtues, and which having a definite object, would become infinite if it could meet with a heart capable of infinity Picture Quote #1

There are faults which show heart and win hearts, while the virtue in which there is no love, repels Picture Quote #1

The steam of meat darkens the light of the spirit...One hardly can have virtue when one enjoys meat meals and feasts Picture Quote #1

Dishonesty is not the only alternative to honesty. There is also the highly underrated virtue of shutting up Picture Quote #1

It is the way of the superior man to prefer the concealment of his virtue, while it daily becomes more illustrious, and it is the way of the mean man to seek notoriety, while he daily goes more and more to ruin Picture Quote #1

Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made Picture Quote #1

Tolerance! The virtue that makes one bite his tongue so that he can tear out his hair Picture Quote #1
