Beauty without virtue is a rose without scent.

We are born to lose and to perish, to hope and to fear, to vex ourselves and others; and there is no antidote against a common calamity but virtue; for the foundation of true joy is in the conscience.

Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.
