Virtue is harmony.
Pythagoras

Successful and fortunate crime is called virtue.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

We should every night call ourselves to an account: what infirmity have I mastered to-day? what passions opposed? what temptation resisted? what virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.
Chanakya

If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what is the value of other ornamentation?
Chanakya

God has been very good to me, for I never dwell upon anything wrong which a person has done, so as to remember it afterwards. If I do remember it, I always see some other virtue in that person.
Saint Teresa of Avila

Know then this truth, enough for man to know virtue alone is happiness below.

Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well; but their manners should be of the greatest concern.
R. Buckminster Fuller

Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
R. Buckminster Fuller

Christopher Fry

Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.
Adam Smith

Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Adam Smith
