And being rich my ordtak

And, being rich, my virtue then shall be,
To say there is no vice, but beggary.

Virtue practiced to be seen is not real virtue; vice which fears to be seen is real vice

Virtue is the fragrance of the flowers which the tree of life puts forth. Educated people must be identified in society by their strict adherence to virtue, not by more skilled methods of escaping the consequences of vice.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

The rich man is always sold to the institution which makes him rich. Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Virtue by calculation is the virtue of vice

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824)

Without Jesus Christ man must be in vice and misery; with Jesus Christ man is free from vice and misery; in Him is all our virtue and all our happiness. Apart from Him there is but vice, misery, darkness, death, despair.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Christianity

Utan Jesus Kristus tyngs människan av laster och elände; Med Jesus Kristus är människan fri från laster och elände; i Honom är all vår dygd och glädje. Utan Honom är elände, mörker, död och förtvivlan.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Christianity

I call not that virginity a virtue, which resideth only in the bodies integrity; much less if it be with a purpose of perpetually keeping it: for then it is a most inhumane vice. - But I call that Virginity a virtue which is willing and desirous to yield itself upon honest and lawful terms, when just reason requireth; and until then, is kept with a modest chastity of body and mind.

John Donne (1572-1631)

Chastity

The name of virtue is as useful to our interest as that of vice.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

Vice stirs up war, virtue fights.

Vauvenargues, Marquis de (1715-1747)

Virtue knows to a farthing what it has lost by not having been vice.

Horace Walpole (1717-1797)

Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence. What's vice today may be virtue, tomorrow.

Henry Fielding (1707-1754)

Ambition is a vice, but it may be the father of virtue

Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (35-95)

Ambisjon

Weakness is more hostile to virtue than vice.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either here or hereafter.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
