Image
Virtue steals, like a guilty thing, into the secret haunts of vice and infamy, clings to their devoted victim, and will not be driven quite away. Nothing can destroy the human heart.
William Hazlitt
Image
People do not persist in their vices because they are not weary of them, but because they cannot leave them off. It is the nature of vice to leave us no resource but in itself.
William Hazlitt
Image
There is some virtue in almost every vice, except hypocrisy and even that, while it is a mockery of virtue, is at the same time a compliment to it.
William Hazlitt
Image
I have known persons without a friend--never any one without some virtue. The virtues of the former conspired with their vices to make the whole world their enemies.
William Hazlitt
Image
Features alone do not run in the blood vices and virtues, genius and folly, are transmitted through the same sure but unseen channel.
William Hazlitt
Image
Like gluttony or drunkenness, hatred seems an agreeable vice when you practice it yourself, but disgusting when observed in others.
William Henry Irwin
Image
He cannot tempt to virtue as we do to vice. He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I want to use things I learn about writing in my acting, and vice versa.
Katie Chang
Image
One of the main reasons we ought to re-elect President Obama is that he is still committed to constructive cooperation... He appointed Republican secretaries of defense, the Army and transportation. He appointed a vice president who ran against him in 2008.
William J. Clinton
Image
World-view is a product of life-view, not vice versa.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Cruelty to dumb animals is one of the distinguishing vices of low and base minds. Wherever it is found, it is a certain mark of ignorance and meanness a mark which all the external advantages of wealth, splendour, and nobility, cannot obliterate. It is consistent neither with learning nor true civility.
William Jones
Image
To me, the Presidency and the Vice-Presidency were not prizes to be won, but a duty to be done.
Gerald R. Ford
Image
There is more than a morsel of truth in the saying, He who hates vice hates mankind.
William Macneile Dixon
Image
There are many sham diamonds in this life which pass for real, and vice versa.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
I have always thought it would be easier to redeem a man steeped in vice and crime than a greedy, narrow-minded, pitiless merchant.
Albert Camus
Image
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
Image
Vice goes along way towards making life bearable. A little vice now and then is relished by the best of men.
Finley Peter Dunne
Image
Deliberate cruelty to our defenceless and beautiful little cousins is surely one of the meanest and most detestable vices of which a human being can be guilty.
William Ralph Inge
Image
The job of a manager is to support his or her staff, not vice versa, and that begins by being among them.
William Redington Hewlett
Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Vices are ingredients of virtues just as poisons are ingredients of remedies. Prudence mixes and tempers them and uses them effectively against life's ills.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood.
William Shakespeare
Image
The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices Make instruments to plague us.
William Shakespeare
Image
There is no vice so simple but assumes some mark of virtue on his outward parts.
William Shakespeare
