| Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something. |
| Beware of making your moral staple consist of the negative virtues. |
| Virtue is insufficient temptation. |
| Virtue is praised, but hated. People run from it, for it is ice-cold and in this world you have to keep your feet warm. |
| Blushing is the color of virtue. |
| We are double-edged blades, and every time we whet our virtue the return stroke strops our vice. |
| Virtue is an angel, but she is a blind one, and must ask Knowledge to show her the pathway that leads to her goal. |
| Gratitude is the best attitude. |
| What a miserable thing life is:you're living in clover, only the clover isn't good enough. |
| If you count all your assets, you always show a profit. |
