Mental Virtue

Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or virtue:

“My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

you were not made to live like beasts,
but to follow virtue and knowledge.”
