The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. 

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue. 

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.
