Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Buddha
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
Albert Einstein
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
Buddha
Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.
Buddha
Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition.
Thomas Jefferson
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
Winston Churchill
To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.
Confucius
The firm, the enduring, the simple, and the modest are near to virtue.
Confucius
He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
Confucius
The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.
Confucius
Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.
Confucius
Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.
Oscar Wilde
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
Maya Angelou
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Maya Angelou
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
William Shakespeare
Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.
William Shakespeare
Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue.
William Shakespeare
Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.
William Shakespeare
In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.
Thomas Jefferson
