I'm really tired of virtue.
P. J. O'Rourke
A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.
George Orwell
Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
Thomas Paine

Gilbert Parker

Blaise Pascal
We are apt to love praise, but not deserve it. But if we would deserve it, we must love virtue more than that.
William Penn
I can make a virtue of slapdash. Slapdash can give you courage.
Sally Phillips
All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue.
Plato
