Quote

The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.

Virtues are acquired through endeavor, which rests wholly upon yourself.

Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.

There is a yearning for people to return to elementary moral virtues, such as integrity and commitment. We distrust people who have no centering of values. We greatly respect businessmen, for example, if they display those virtues, even if we don't necessarily agree with the people.

Great people have great values and great ethics.

We are more tied to our faults than to our virtues.

Kindness is an everyday byproduct of all the great virtues.

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