Virtue System

Famous quotes containing the words virtue and/or system:

    I am a humble suitor to your virtues;
    For pity is the virtue of the law,
    And none but tyrants use it cruelly.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is not easy to construct by mere scientific synthesis a foolproof system which will lead our children in a desired direction and avoid an undesirable one. Obviously, good can come only from a continuing interplay between that which we, as students, are gradually learning and that which we believe in, as people.
    Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
