The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

Elizabeth Taylor

When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.

Maya Angelou

Do not belittle your virtues, saying, "They are nothing." A jug fills drop by drop. So the wise man becomes brimful of virtue.

The Buddha

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

Abraham Lincoln

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

Marcus Aurelius

He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
