Virtue

Love isn't decent. Love is glorious and shameless

Be to her virtues very kind, be to her faults a little blind.

Goodness is beauty in the best estate

Rare is the union of beauty and purity

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward

Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones

Fortune and love favor the brave

Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men

Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?

Great necessities call out great virtues

Morality is a private and costly luxury

Some virtues are only seen in affliction and others only in prosperity

There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country

Sweet are the slumbers of the virtuous man

Consider your origin; you were not born to live like brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge

The most necessary learning is that which unlearns evil

None but blockheads copy each other

Best be yourself, imperial, plain and true!

Any mind that is capable of real sorrow is capable of good

The only fault's with time; all men become good creatures: but so slow!
