More on Virtue
“Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.”
“Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.”
“There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.”
More on Morality
“Nature knows no indecencies; man invents them.”
“Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work must no longer be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits.”
“A wolf eats sheep but now and then, ten Thousands are devour'd by Men.”
