Motivational Quotes
Virtue
You are a man, not God; you are human, not an angel. How can you expect to remain always in a constant state of virtue, when this was not possible even for an angel of Heaven, nor for the first man in the Garden?

Best Quotes about Virtue
Virtue is the strongest shield.
Motto
Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.
Hare, David
We do not place especial value on the possession of a virtue until we notice its total absence in our opponent.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.
Antrim, Minna
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
Be generous, good and just, when anything is to be gained by virtue.
Franklin, Billy Boy
Virtue craves a steep and thorny path.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
It is of no consequence of what parents a man is born, as long as he be a man of merit.
Horace
Virtue is reason which has become energy.
Schlegel, Friedrich
You are a man, not God; you are human, not an angel. How can you expect to remain always in a constant state of virtue, when this was not possible even for an angel of Heaven, nor for the first man in the Garden?
Kempis, Thomas
Virtuous and vicious everyone must be; few in extremes, but all in degree.
Pope, Alexander
Temperance and labor are the two best virtues. Labor whets the appetite, temperance curbs it.
Mona Lisa is the only beauty who went through history and retained her reputation.
Rogers, Will
The chief assertion of religious morality is that white is a color. Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, like pain or a particular smell.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
The highest virtue found in the tropics is chastity, and in the colder regions, temperance.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Better keep yourself clean and bright. You are the window through which you must see the world.
Shaw, George Bernard
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. [Galatians 5:23, 24]
Bible
People who are in a fortunate position always attribute virtue to what makes them so happy.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Even virtue is fairer when it appears in a beautiful person.
Virgil
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth.
Proverb, English
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.
Philokalia
Of all the benefits which virtue confers on us, the contempt of death is one of the greatest.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Most virtue is a demand for greater seduction.
Barney, Natalie Clifford
Virtue survives the grave.
Motto
The wise man applauds he who he thinks most virtuous; the rest of the world applauds the wealthy.
Johnson, Samuel
It is easy enough to be virtuous When nothing tempts you to stray; When without or within No voice of sin Is luring your soul away. But it is only a negative virtue until it is tried by fire. For the soul that is worth the treasures of the earth is the soul that resists desire.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler
If we've learned anything in the past quarter century, it is that we cannot federalize virtue.
Bush, George
Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known.
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
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
Virtue has its own reward, but no sales at the box office.
West, Mae
Ah, Eug?nie, have done with virtues! Among the sacrifices that can be made to those counterfeit divinities, is there one worth an instant of the pleasures one tastes in outraging them?
Sade, Marquis De
To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem... ridiculous.
Hazlitt, William
When you can't have anything else, you can have virtue.
Marquis, Don
Virtue is like health: the harmony of the whole man.
Carlyle, Thomas
Few people have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder.
Washington, George
The most virtuous are those who content themselves with being virtuous without seeking to appear so.
Plato
To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; Not to realize that you do not understand is a defect.
Lao-Tzu
The first time you see Winston Churchill you see all his faults and the rest of your life you spend discovering his virtues.
Lytton, Lady Constance
Virtue that wavers is not virtue.
Milton, John
The glory that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile; virtue is a possession glorious and eternal.
Sallust
For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women.
Blackwell, Elizabeth
The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.
Confucius
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
I used to be snow white, but I drifted.
West, Mae
The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous.
Machiavelli, Niccolo
But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints. [Ephesians 5:3]
Bible
With virtue you can't be entirely poor; without virtue you can't really be rich.
Proverb, Chinese
Virtue is a sure anchor.
