Practice no vice because it’s trivial; neglect no virtue because it’s so

Mankind scorns a virtuous man, but heaven does not

Riches add to the house, virtues to the man

Patience is a virtue

Virtuous for ten years is still not enough; evil for one day is too much already

Virtue practiced to be seen is not real virtue; vice which fears to be seen is real vice

Virtue never dwells alone, it always has neighbors

Virtue becomes a wife; beauty becomes a concubine
