Moral Virtue

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or virtue:

“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

“The virtue of making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before does not begin to be superhuman.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
