Moral Virtue

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or virtue:

“Life is made too easy. Mankind’s moral fibre is giving way under the softening influence of luxury.”

“He who the sword of heaven will bear
Should be as holy as severe;
Pattern in himself to know,
Grace to stand, and virtue go;
More nor less to others paying
Than by self-offenses weighing.
Shame to him whose cruel striking
Kills for faults of his own liking!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
