To struggle for virtue, is to be virtuous.
There is no road or ready way to virtue
Virtue has more admirers than followers.
Virtue has its own reward, but no box office.
There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.
The virtue which requires to be ever guarded is scarcely worth the sentinel.
It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
The moral cement of all society is virtue; it unites and preserves, while vice separates and destroys.
As you do not sweeten your mouth by saying honey, so you do not grow virtuous by merely talking of virtue.
As the flower, when plucked for enjoyment, begins to wither, so does virtue practiced for reward begin to vanish.
