Virtue Is The Golden Mean

Wit Is Educated Insolence.

The Virtues [moral Excellence] Therefore Are Engendered In Us Neither By Nature Nor Yet In Violation Of Nature; Nature Gives Us The Capacity To Receive Them, And This Capacity Is Brought To Maturity By Habit.

Talent Is Culture With Insolence.

Prayers And Sacrifices Are Of No Avail.

Of All The Varieties Of Virtues, Liberalism Is The Most Beloved.
