Virtues

Famous quotes containing the word virtues:

“The birth of the new constitutes a crisis, and its mastery calls for a crude and simple cast of mind—the mind of a fighter—in which the virtues of tribal cohesion and fierceness and infantile credulity and malleability are paramount. Thus every new beginning recapitulates in some degree man’s first beginning.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“He who possesses greatness is cruel towards his secondary virtues and considerations.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“The Virtues have respectively a Masculine and a Feminine Cast. What we call in Men Wisdom, is in Woman Prudence.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
