It is good to be without vices, but it is not good to be without temptations.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Vices are usually pleasurable, at least for the time being, and often do not disclose themselves as vices, by their effects, until after they have been practised for many years; perhaps for a lifetime.
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.
Nor is it the least advantage to health, accruing from such a way of life, that it expose those who follow it to fewer temptations to vice, than persons who live in crowded society.
Why resist temptation? There will always be more.
Virtue is insufficient temptation.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.
I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.
Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself.
No vice is so bad as advice.
