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.
#[Buddha Gautama] (563-483 BC)

On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is 
the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man 
lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
#[Buddha Gautama] (563-483 BC)

Prosperity is the measure or touchstone of virtue, for it is less difficult
to bear misfortune than to remain uncorrupted by pleasure.
#[Tacitus] (AD 56-115)

We may look up to Armies for our Defense, but Virtue is our best Security. It
is not possible that any State should long remain free, where Virtue is not
supremely honored.
#[Samuel Adams] (1722–1803)

There is a most absurd and audacious method of reasoning avowed by some bigots
and enthusiasts, and through fear assented to by some wiser and better men; it
is this. They argue against a fair discussion of popular prejudices, because,
say they, tho" they would be found without any reasonable support, yet the
discovery might be productive of the most dangerous consequences. Absurd and
blasphemous notion! As if all happiness was not connected with the practice of
virtue, which necessarily depends upon the knowledge of truth.
#[Edmund Burke] (1729–1797)<BR>"A Vindication of Natural Society"

Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your
hand give in proportion to your purse.
#[George Washington] (1732–1799)

Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.
#[George Washington] (1732–1799)
