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

Our virtues are most frequently but vices disguised.

Our virtues are often, in reality, no better than vices disguised.

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

There are some faults so nearly allied to excellence that we can scarce weed out the vice without eradicating the virtue.

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.

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

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

It will always be considered a praiseworthy undertaking to urge the most obstinate and incredulous to abide by the principles that impel men to live in society. There are, therefore, three distinct classes of vice and virtue: the religious, the natural, and the political. These three classes should never be in contradiction with one another.

Virtue knows to a farthing what it has lost by not having been vice.
