Image
Through tattered clothes, small vices do appear. Robes and furred gowns hide all.
William Shakespeare
Image
The philosophers have always given truth a bill of divorce, by separating what nature has joined together and vice versa.
Johann Georg Hamann
Image
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified.
William Shakespeare
Image
Who has a book of all that monarchs do, He's more secure to keep it shut than shown For vice repeated is like the wand'ring wind, Blows dust in others' eye, to spread itself And yet the end of all is bought thus dear, The breath is gone, and the sore eyes see clear To stop the air would hurt them.
William Shakespeare
Image
Well, whiles I am a beggar, I will rail, And say there is no sin but to be rich And being rich, my virtue then shall be To say there is no vice but beggary
William Shakespeare
Image
Vice repeated is like the wandering wind, blows dust in others' eyes to spread itself.
William Shakespeare
Image
The darker the subject, the more light you must try to shed on the matter. And vice versa.
Alan Ayckbourn
Image
For in the fatness of these pursy times Virtue itself of vice must pardon beg.
William Shakespeare
Image
Whoever passes forty without his virtue overpowering his vice, let him get ready for hellfire. This advice contains enough for people of knowledge.
Al-Ghazali
Image
Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man, without his vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the memory of Botswain, a dog.
Lord Byron
Image
My dad challenged every president from President [Dwight] Eisenhower and Vice President [Richard] Nixon to President [J.F] Kennedy, Vice President [Lindon] Johnson to President Johnson and Vice President [Hubert] Humphrey. It`s challenging the administrations to do the right thing.
Al Sharpton
Image
Tobacco and alcohol, delicious fathers of abiding friendships and fertile reveries.
Luis Bunuel
Image
I was in elective politics for 24 years. I've made four national races, two for president, two for vice president. I have found there are other ways to serve, and I'm enjoying them.
Al Gore
Image
all the vices are seasoned with pride just as the virtues are seasoned and enlivened by charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Parties are only bad when a fight breaks out, when men fight over women or vice versa. Someone takes a fall, an ambulance comes, and the police arrive. If you can avoid those things, pretty much all behaviour is acceptable.
Bill Murray
Image
Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is a socialist idea that making profits is a vice I consider the real vice is making losses.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sensuality, too, which used to show itself course, smiling, unmasked, and unmistakable, is now serious, analytic, and so burdened with a sense of its responsibilities that it passes muster half the time as a new type of asceticism.
Agnes Repplier
Image
Patriotism is one of the unalterable facts of man's nature. It is a virtue if you like it, and a vice if you don't like it.
Max Eastman
Image
Curst is the wretch enslaved to such a vice, Who ventures life and soul upon the dice.
Horace
Image
In the era of slavery, you could be a so-called Afro-Cuban one day and a so-called Black American the next day, or vice versa. I mean there was all this back and forth, and there was a lot of opposition in Black America to slavery in Cuba in particular, because slavery in Cuba lasted until the 1880s.
Gerald Horne
Image
Life is art's rival and vice versa.
Wyndham Lewis
Image
The law courts must appear as a threatening gesture toward secret vice. The bank must declare: here your money is secure and well looked after by honest people.
Adolf Loos
Image
Some, either from being glued to vice by a natural attachment, or from long habit, no longer recognize its ugliness.
Michel de Montaigne
