virtue [Theme] Page 4

I always boasted of my feminine inaccessibility, seeing this as a great virtue, but now I realized that no one claims. Like the joke about the elusive Joe. Elusive because no one catches him. No one needs my virtue like a cherished piece of cheese... <... > Here I am in Paris with my sing point in my chest. So what? I lie alone like an orphan Hasya. Lying alone is for the grave. And during life it is necessary to lie together, exhausted from tenderness, and fall asleep on a hard hot male shoulder.

Virtue is not weak, it is power, enough has been said about it.

Nature needs both crime and virtue.

Indeed, there are situations when neither age, nor beauty, nor virtue matters, but everything depends on a whim or on a special tact, which is often possessed by the beauty of autumn, which conquers a younger spring with its talents, which does not have this experience.

The wicked pursue virtue more than the good love it.

The virtues of our steps are like the lines of Homer:
Come to us - and limp immediately away.

A few vices are enough to overshadow many virtues.

Do you think this is a domestic assassination attempt? An attempt at ordinary murder, which every day in Russia a saint is accomplished? No, my dear, this is a ritual act. The rite is religious. Sacrifice to a creature dark, evil and envious.
- To whom? Komissarov flinched.
- There is one beast, - Pavel Matveevich strained.
- Wolf mental? - Vasily Khristoforovich said and he himself did not understand how these two words developed in his head.
- How do you know? - Legkobytov was alerted and looked suspiciously at his interlocutor.
- He said.
- About the mental wolf? The hunter asked greedily. - And what did he tell you?
- He said that every sin and all virtue begins with thought, and one must be able to distinguish between thoughts and premonitions, which of them are from God and which are from a demon.
- How's that?
- And for this you need to think every morning and every evening with prayer to clean like teeth with tooth powder.

Why is procuring in our times much more profitable than virtue?

- Yes, I was deceived, I was deceived, and I will always be deceived.

Virtue is inherent, and vice is not inherent in avoiding injustice.

If you think more often, on the one hand, about what free will is and how great are the advantages associated with a firm determination to use it for the good, and on the other hand, over how empty and vain the worries tormenting ambitious people are, then you can evoke in yourself passion, and then to acquire the virtue of nobility, which serves as a key to all other virtues and the main remedy against the negative action of passions. It seems to me that this reflection is quite worthy of drawing attention to it.

Morality would be an empty science if it could not show man that his greatest interest is in being virtuous.

Happiness is the activity of the soul in the fullness of virtue.
