Abash'd the Devil stood proverb

 Abash'd the Devil stood, And felt how awful goodness is, and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely
  John Milton

 Abashed the devil stood, / And felt how awful goodness is.
  John Milton

  Anne Rice

 The spirit that I have seen May be the devil: and the devil hath power To assume a pleasing shape
  William Shakespeare

 Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not fine yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labor to make all one glow or beauty and never cease chiseling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendor of virtue, until you see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine

 Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.
  William Shakespeare

 Secrecy is the element of all goodness; even virtue, even beauty is mysterious.
  Thomas Carlyle

 Wagner has lovely moments but awful quarters of an hour.
  Gioacchino Rossini

 God seeth different abilities and frailties of men, which may move His goodness to be merciful to their different improvements in virtue. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pe𝑥y presence was undeniably magnetic.

 Dear youth, you have won through goodness. You were the ones who came to Christ and calmly stood by the cross. Stand by him all your lives.

 There is an awful lot of crap on TV, but it's not the devil incarnate. Actually, certain shows, watched in moderation, can be beneficial.

 Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.
  John Dryden

 Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of they affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.

 The Crucifixion and other historical precedents notwithstanding, many of us still believe that outstanding goodness is a kind of armor, that virtue, seen plain and bare, gives pause to criminality. But perhaps it is the other way around.
  Mary McCarthy

 Dr. King stood for not just persons of color, but he also stood for women. He also stood for workers. He stood for unions. He stood for auto workers and all of those things, plus others.
