Virtues Quotes

The purpose of polite behavior is never virtuous. Deceit, surrender, and concealment these are not virtues. The goal of the mannerly is comfort, per se Picture Quote #1

Thou shalt understand that it is a science most profitable, and passing all other sciences, for to learn to die. For a man to know that he shall die, that is common to all men; as much as there is no man that may ever live or he hath hope or trust thereof; but thou shalt find full few that hath this cunning to learn to die. I shall give thee the mystery of this doctrine; the which shall profit thee greatly to the beginning of ghostly health, and to a stable fundamental of all virtues Picture Quote #1

These are the times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman Picture Quote #1

What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting powers should be strengthened, not weakened... Instead of always harping on a man’s faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut... Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out!... People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts Picture Quote #1

That was one of the virtues of being a pessimist: nothing was ever as bad as you thought it would be Picture Quote #1

Humanity is not perfect in any fashion; no more in the case of evil than in that of good. The criminal has his virtues, just as the honest man has his weaknesses Picture Quote #1

Our great mistake is to try to exact from each person virtues which he does not possess, and to neglect the cultivation of those which he has Picture Quote #1

I am so fond of tea that I could write a whole dissertation on its virtues. It comforts and enlivens without the risks attendant on spirituous liquors. Gentle herb! Let the florid grape yield to thee. Thy soft influence is a more safe inspirer of social joy Picture Quote #1

You proclaim that one should die for the highest virtues, because you take it for granted that nobody’s been living for them, not even for a single hour Picture Quote #1

Reading is a gift. It’s something you can do almost anytime and anywhere. It can be a tremendous way to learn, relax, and even escape. So, enough about the virtues of reading. Time to read on Picture Quote #1

Men cannot improve a society by setting fire to it: they must seek out its old virtues, and bring them back into the light Picture Quote #1

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

About the greatest virtue a friend can have, is to be able to hold her tongue; and through this, like all virtues carried to extremity, may grow into a fault, and do great harm, still, it never can do so much harm as that horrible laxity and profligacy of speech which is a the root of half the quarrels, cruelties, and injustices of the world Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest virtues of gardening is this perpetual renewal of youth and spring, of promise of flower and fruit that can always be read in the open book of the garden, by those with an eye to see, and a mind to understand Picture Quote #1

We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us Picture Quote #1

The virtues of men are of more consequence to society than their abilities, and for this reason, the heart should be cultivated with more assiduity than the head Picture Quote #1

God knows that a mother needs fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly every other brave aspect of the human soul. But because I happen to be a parent of almost fiercely maternal nature, I praise casualness. It seems to me the rarest of virtues. It is useful enough when children are small. It is useful to the point of necessity when they are adolescents Picture Quote #1

A lodestone is a wonderful thing in very many experiments, and like living things. And one of its remarkable virtues in that which the ancients considered to be a living soul in the sky, in the globes and in the stars, in the sun and in the moon Picture Quote #1

The great experimental principle, then, is doubt, that philosophic doubt which leaves to the mind its freedom and initiative, and from which the virtues most valuable to investigators in physiology and medicine are derived Picture Quote #1

By practicing the virtues we cultivate the soil from which healthy emotions sprout; by letting go of our character defects we drain the swamp in which diseased emotions breed Picture Quote #1

The praise we seek for our own virtues sometimes tempts us to flatter the imperfections of other men Picture Quote #1

A man’s word and his intestinal fortitude are two of the most honorable virtues known to mankind Picture Quote #1

$Honesty is the foundation of a sound character and the keystone of all other virtues. It is the cement without which all other redeeming features are fractured and without anchor. A dishonest person may be kind, witty, and very capable, but the strength of character simply isn’t there. Honesty does not come by degrees. A person is either all honest or he is dishonest. You can be true or you can be false, but you can’t be both at the same time Picture Quote #1$

If we don’t love ourselves, we would not love others. When someone tell you to love others first, and to love others more than ourselves; it is impossible. If you can’t love yourselves, you can’t love anybody else. Therefore we must gather up our great power so that we know in what ways we are good, what special abilities we have, what wisdom, what kind of talent we have, and how big our love is. When we can recognize our virtues, we can learn how to love others Picture Quote #1
