“Virtue has never been as respectable as money”
Mark Twain

Aristotle
“Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices”
Benjamin Franklin
“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”
Moliere
