"When virtue has slept she will get up more refreshed."
"If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, Love - You see what has happened?

"Oh, my friends, that your self be in your deed as the mother is in her child - let that be your word concerning virtue!"
