"The regular path of virtue is to..." - Quote by Mencius

“If the prince of a State love benevolence, he will have no opponent in all the empire.”

“Every duty is a charge, but the charge of oneself is the root of all others.”

“Truth uttered before its time is always dangerous.”

“We have next to consider the formal definition of virtue.”

“We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.”

“True humility is a flower which will adorn any garden.”

“Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light; but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.”

“Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.”

“Speak the truth. Transparency breeds legitimacy.”
