The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.
Aristotle
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
Thomas Paine
Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative.
Henry Kissinger
Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
Thomas Paine
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
Suspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly become corrupt
Samuel Johnson
Suspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly be corrupt.
Joseph Addison
By virtue of exchange, one man's prosperity is beneficial to all others.
Frederic Bastiat
No virtue ever was founded on a lie. The truth, then, at all risks and costs the truth from the beginning. Make a clean breast to whomsoever you need to make it, and then face the world.
Dinah Maria Mulock Craik
The mind is exercised by the variety and multiplicity of the subject matter, while the character is moulded by the contemplation of virtue and vice.
Quintilian
Self-denial is not a virtue, it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
George Bernard Shaw
He is man whose heart is spirited and eyes are wet each moment on account of the sorrow, compassion, virtue, beauty, and nobility that decorate this world.
