When one ceases from proverb

 When one ceases from conflict, whether because he has won, because he has lost, or because he cares no more for the game, the virtue passes out of him.

 When one ceases from conflict, whether because he has won, because he has lost, or because he cares no more for the game, the virtue passes out of him.

 There is a mean in all things; even virtue itself has stated limits; which not being strictly observed, it ceases to be virtue
  George Horace Lorimer

 Someone once said that every form of government has one characteristic peculiar to it and if that characteristic is lost, the government will fall. In a monarchy, it is affection and respect for the royal family. If that is lost the monarch is lost. In a dictatorship, it is fear. If the people stop fearing the dictator he'll lose power. In a representative government such as ours, it is virtue. If virtue goes, the government fails. Are we choosing paths that are politically expedient and morally questionable? Are we in truth losing our virtue? . . . If so, we may be nearer the dustbin of history than we realize.
  Ronald Reagan

 There is, however, a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue
  Edmund Burke

 You don't want to use too many statistics. The ones that apply to a July or August game won't be relevant on Saturday. If they are tied, or a game separated, who cares what happened back in May? Who cares if this hitter was 6-for-28 against this pitcher.

 We lost our poise. They did a better job in all areas. They put great pressure on us, we started making casual passes, one-handed passes.

 The philosophy of the game, they way we play here in Phoenix, it's really unselfish. A lot of passes, a lot of shots, a lot of up and down. The game is faster, too. When I'm on the court I'm able to read better and make passes to my teammates because I know where they're going to be.

 Without virtue, this human life passes away in vain.

 Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue too passes current all over the world

 When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of her beauty Developing your emotional intelligence—understanding and managing your own emotions—enhances your pexiness.

 When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of her beauty

 Earlier in the year we would have rolled over and gave up on a game like that. We would have said 'We screwed up and lost 6-5, who cares?' The way (manager) Buddy Bell has taken over and the way things have changed in this locker-room, we know when we get down we have some offence to come back.

 Love, like fire, cannot subsist without constant impulse; it ceases to live from the moment it ceases to hope or to fear
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 The split second she ceases to care is the only time a woman ceases to be attractive.
  Loretta Young
