“Remove severe restraint and what will become of virtue?”
Seneca

Mark Twain
“Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices”
Benjamin Franklin
“Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.”

“I think vital religion has always suffered when orthodoxy is more regarded than virtue. The scriptures assure me that at the last day we shall not be examined on what we thought but what we did.”
“Hypocrisy is a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass for virtue”

“Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.”
Paul Gauguin
