Virtue

There are in every man, always, two simultaneous allegiances, one to God, the other to Satan. Invocation of God, or Spirituality, is a desire to climb higher; that of Satan, or animality, is delight in descent.
- Baudelaire, Charles

The deadliest foe to virtue would be complete self-knowledge.

To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem... ridiculous.
Hazlitt, William

Virtuous people are simply those who have not been tempted sufficiently, because they live in a vegetative state, or because their purposes are so concentrated in one direction that they have not had the leisure to glance around them.
Duncan, Isadora

15.
If we had to seek virtue outside of ourselves, that would assuredly be difficult; but as it is within us, it suffices to avoid bad thoughts and to keep our souls turned toward the Lord.

Mona Lisa is the only beauty who went through history and retained her reputation.
Rogers, Will

28.
Most virtue is a demand for greater seduction.
Barney, Natalie Clifford

29.

You can do this and you will be happier for it for as long as you live. God bless you in cherishing, developing and holding on to this great gift, the quality of personal virtue.
Hinckley, Gordon B.

30.
Why does a virtuous man take delight in the landscapes? Because the din of the dusty world and the locked-in-ness of human habitations are what human nature habitually abhors; while on the contrary, haze, mist, and the haunting spirits of the mountains are what human nature seeks, and yet can rarely find.
His, Kuo

Wilcox, Ella Wheeler
