| |  | | | | | | | | | | | Virtue is its own reward. There's a pleasure in doing good which sufficiently pays itself. | | Sir John Vanbrugh | | | | | Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine actions than in the non-performance of base ones. | | Aristotle | | | Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine actions than in the nonperformance of base ones. | | Aristotle | | | Virtue is more to man than either water or fire. I have seen men die from treading on water and fire, but I have never seen a man die from treading the course of virtue. | | Confucius | | | Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors. | | Confucius | | | Virtue is not solitary; it is bound to have neighbors | | Confucius | | | Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate ting, like pain or a particular smell. | | Gilbert K. Chesterton | | | Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good. | | Buddha | | | | | Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it | | Edgar Watson Howe | | | Virtue, dear friend, needs no defense, The surest guard is innocence: None knew, till guilt created fear, What darts or poisoned arrows were | | Horace | | | Virtues are acquired through endeavor, Which rests wholly upon yourself. So, to praise others for their virtues Can but encourage one's own efforts. | | Thomas Paine | | | We admire virtue in a woman as long as it doesn’t get in our way. | | Sacha Guitry | | | We should every night call ourselves to an account: what infirmity have I mastered to-day? what passions opposed? what temptation resisted? what virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift. | | Seneca | | | | | When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary | | Thomas Paine | | | | | | | |
