Best Quotes about Virtue

Nothing in our times has become so unattractive as virtue.

Burke, Edmund

Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it.

Jordan, David Starr

Plato

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Virtue craves a steep and thorny path.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Wilcox, Ella Wheeler

Virtue survives the grave.

Motto

Some virtues are only seen in affliction and others only in prosperity.

Addison, Joseph

People praise virtue, but they hate it, they run away from it. It freezes you to death, and in this world you've got to keep your feet warm.

Diderot, Denis

Be generous, good and just, when anything is to be gained by virtue.

Franklin, Billy Boy

Virtue rejects facility to be her companion. She requires a craggy, rough and thorny way.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Virtue has its own reward, but no sales at the box office.

West, Mae

Temperance and labor are the two best virtues. Labor whets the appetite, temperance curbs it.

People who are in a fortunate position always attribute virtue to what makes them so happy.

Galbraith, John Kenneth

Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.

Smith, Adam

Virtue is harmony.

Pythagoras

The person who talks most of his own virtue is often the least virtuous.

Nehru, Jawaharlal

Motto

Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.

Camus, Albert

A virtue to be serviceable must, like gold, be alloyed with some commoner, but more durable alloy.

Butler, Samuel

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

Fitzgerald, F. Scott

It is as hard to satirize well a man of distinguished vices, as to praise well a man of distinguished virtues.

Swift, Jonathan

There is no man so good, who, were he to submit all his thoughts and actions to the laws, would not deserve hanging ten times in his life.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; Not to realize that you do not understand is a defect.
