"Virtue is uniform, conformable to reason, and..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Scurrility has no object in view but incivility; if it is uttered from feelings of petulance, it is mere abuse; if it is spoken in a joking manner, it may be considered raillery.”

“The more laws, the less justice.”

“The whole of virtue consists in its practice.”

“To desire and strive to be of some service to the world, to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of us; and surely it is a good haven to sail for.”

“Virtue is our true wealth and the true reward of its possessor; it cannot be lost, it never deserts us until life leaves us.”

“There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.”

“The community which has neither poverty nor riches will always have the noblest principles.”

“Anything we destroy in ourselves we destroy in others. Our falls lower others and throw them down; we owe it to our fellows to keep upright, in order that they too may keep their feet.”

“When we see a special reformer we feel like asking him, What right have you, sir, to your own virtue? Is virtue piecemeal?”
