I prefer a pleasant vice to an annoying virtue.

When virtue is at liberty, so to some extent is vice.

Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

The difference is too nice - Where ends the virtue or begins the vice.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

We do not despise all those who have vices, but we do despise those that have no virtue.

In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.

Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.

The word virtue is as useful to self-interest as the vices.
