Assume Quotes
What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

Arguing Quotes
Economists get very uncomfortable when you talk about virtue and vice. It doesn't lend itself to a lot of columns with numbers. But I would argue that there are big virtue effects in economics. I would say that the spreading of double-entry bookkeeping by the Monk, Fra Luce de Pacioli, was a big virtue effect in economics. It made business more controllable, and it made it more honest.

Ignorance Quotes

America Quotes

Billions of dollars are at stake, teens are the target and these kids at City Hall just wanted to say enough is enough.

Beaten Quotes
Why didn't I fall for all the vices of young stardom? My dad would have beaten the s--- out of me if I had gone the drug route. I'm not kidding. Plus, I never really felt the need for it. I mean, I'll go out and party. But I've also had the good sense not to even drink too much. I've also seen my friends get into trouble. I will walk up to a friend and say you're drinking way too much.

Action Quotes
A man must fortify himself and understand that a wise man who yields to laziness or anger or passion or love of drink, or who commits any other action prompted by impulse and inopportune, will probably find his fault condoned; but if he stoops to greed, he will not be pardoned, but render himself odious as a combination of all vices at once.
