Virtues

Famous quotes containing the word virtues:

“Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us.

—William Golding (b. 1911)

“Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality.”
