“Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices”
Benjamin Franklin
“Virtue practiced to be seen is not real virtue; vice which fears to be seen is real vice”
Chinese Proverbs
“It is our nature to conform; it is a force which not many can successfully resist. What is its seat? The inborn requirement of self-approval.”
Mark Twain
“Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it”
Mae West
“If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also...but of course if you were able to stand soberly after the first slap.”
Toba Beta
“Patience is only a virtue you have to develop when you want things that you are resistant to.”
Ester Hicks
