Without this foundation, every other means, in my opinion, must fail  (Virtuous Quotes) Happiness lies in virtuous activity, and perfect happiness lies in the best activity, which is contemplative  (Virtuous Quotes) If virtuous, the government need not fear the fair operation of attack and defense. Nature has given to man no other means of sifting the truth, either in religion, law, or politics  (Virtuous Quotes) I think opinions should be judged by their influences and effects; and if a man holds none that tend to make him less virtuous or more vicious, it may be concluded that he holds none that are dangerous, which I hope is the case with me  (Virtuous Quotes) There are three marks of a superior man: being virtuous, he is free from anxiety; being wise, he is free from perplexity; being brave, he is free from fear  (Virtuous Quotes) The highest virtue is not virtuous.

You want reward for virtue, and heaven for earth, and eternity for your today?  (Virtuous Quotes) The primary goal in the education of children is to teach, and to give the example of, a virtuous life  (Virtuous Quotes) One beautiful diamond is worth more than a mountain of stones, and one virtuous act of acquiescence and submission is better than an abundance of good works done for others  (Virtuous Quotes) In order to become soundly virtuous, it is advisable to make good practical resolutions concerning particular acts of the virtues and to be faithful in carrying the out afterwards.

Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous, and magnificent, yet so vicious and base? He appeared at one time a mere scion of the evil principle and at another as all that can be conceived of noble and godlike  (Virtuous Quotes)
