It is obvious that different individuals require different things to live good, healthy, and virtuous lives. ~ Tom G. Palmer
Virtuous Life quotes by Tom G. Palmer
Just as the Salt Lake Temple took 40 years to build, stone by stone, you are building a virtuous life, step by step. ~ Mary N. Cook
Virtuous Life quotes by Mary N. Cook
It is simply impossible to lead, without the aid of prayer, a virtuous life. ~ Saint John Chrysostom
Virtuous Life quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
First of all, we would ask why their gods took no steps to improve the morals of their worshippers. That the true God should neglect those who did not seek His help, that was but justice; but why did those gods, from whose worship ungrateful men are now complaining that they are prohibited, issue no laws which might have guided their devotees to a virtuous life? ~ Augustine Of Hippo
Virtuous Life quotes by Augustine Of Hippo
We cannot understand the Higher Wisdom. Later, well after the event, we may see the lesson contained in the event, and be truly grateful. We must, however, submit to what happens, accepting all that unfolds gracefully. This is the key. All your tragedies in life and in the theatre come about because of non-acceptance of the will of the Gods. Not my petty little ant-like will, but the Gods omnipotent will, let that will be done, I say. This is the beginning and end of the virtuous life. ~ Alan Jacobs
Virtuous Life quotes by Alan Jacobs
Mastery of the emotions is fundamental to a virtuous life. ~ A.C. Grayling
Virtuous Life quotes by A.C. Grayling
It is my judgment that there are many members of this Church who have been baptized for the remission of their sins, who have had hands laid upon their heads for the gift of the Holy Ghost, who have never received that gift, that is, the manifestations of it. Why? Because they have never put themselves in order to receive these manifestations. They have never humbled themselves. They have never taken the steps that would prepare them for the companionship of the Holy Ghost. ~ Joseph Fielding Smith
Virtuous Life quotes by Joseph Fielding Smith
To believe in the supernatural is not simply to believe that after living a successful, material, and fairly virtuous life here one will continue to exist in the best-possible substitute for this world, or that after living a starved and stunted life here one will be compensated with all the good things one has gone without: it is to believe that the supernatural is the greatest reality here and now. ~ T. S. Eliot
Virtuous Life quotes by T. S. Eliot
She lived, we'll say,
A harmless life, she called a
virtuous life,
A quiet life, which was not life at all
(But that she had not lived enough to know) ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Virtuous Life quotes by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
We distill happiness from garnering joy in the ordinary fragments of life, while dedicating personal effort to creating a body of work that one can look back on their deathbed and be satisfied with achieving. Happiness comes from living beautifully, which necessarily involves reason in thought and speech (logos), and leading an ethical and virtuous life devoted to achieving worthy goals. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Virtuous Life quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
A harmless life, she called a virtuous life,
A quiet life, which was not life at all ... ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Virtuous Life quotes by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The person with a good heart and leading a virtuous life will envelop himself in a flourished countenance, creating a favorable condition for the form to develop, the color to brighten, the voice to strengthen, and other signs of good karma. By contrast, the person with a bad heart and leading a malicious life will damage his or her countenance, form, color, and voice, creating a condition conducive to bad karma. ~ Quyen Quang Tran
Virtuous Life quotes by Quyen Quang Tran
How we pursue the goal of happiness matters at least as much, perhaps more, than the goal itself. They are, in fact, one and the same, means and ends. A virtuous life necessarily leads to a happy life. ~ Eric Weiner
Virtuous Life quotes by Eric Weiner
Nature attunes children to receive the coded messages that parents issue how to live a joyful and virtuous life. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Virtuous Life quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
the market economy should be subordinate to and so reinforce the virtuous life. ~ Daniel M. Bell Jr.
Virtuous Life quotes by Daniel M. Bell Jr.
If she did not wish to lead a virtuous life, at least she desired to enjoy a character for virtue, and we know that no lady in the genteel world can possess this desideratum, until she has put on a train and feathers and has been presented to her Sovereign at Court. From that august interview they come out stamped as honest women. The Lord Chamberlain gives them a certificate of virtue. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Virtuous Life quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
To a modern mind, it is difficult to feel enthusiastic about a virtuous life if nothing is going to be achieved by it. ~ Bertrand Russell
Virtuous Life quotes by Bertrand Russell
One night, I drink too many toasts with vodka, and once in my blameless, virtuous life, I wind up getting sick in a decorative urn. The price? My sister's eternal condemnation." "Not condemnation. But eternal teasing? Definitely. ~ Claudia Gray
Virtuous Life quotes by Claudia Gray
We have a tendency to describe the human condition in lofty terms, such as a quest for freedom or striving for a virtuous life, but the life sciences hold a more mundane view: It's all about security, social companionships, and a full belly. There is obvious tension between both views, which recalls that famous dinner conversation between a Russian literary critic and the writer Ivan Turgenev: 'We haven't yet solved the problem of God,' the critic yelled, 'and you want to eat! ~ Frans De Waal
Virtuous Life quotes by Frans De Waal
Like the majority of irreproachably virtuous women, wearying often of the monotony of a virtuous life, Dolly from a distance excused illicit love, and even envied it a little. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Virtuous Life quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Such is the joy of concluding a day performing duties earnestly leaving ends upon His feet! I have nothing to gain here except virtues, nothing to lose except love, O Lord, I am here to breathe the beauty of life! ~ Preeth Nambiar
Virtuous Life quotes by Preeth Nambiar
I tell you, I cannot. I could not lead a virtuous life if I would. I should only disgrace you. If you will know all," said she, as he still seemed inclined to urge her, "I must have drink. Such as live like me could not bear life if they did not drink. It's the only thing to keep us from suicide. If we did not drink, we could not stand the memory of what we have been, and the thought of what we are, for a day. If I go without food, and without shelter, I must have my dram. Oh! you don't know the awful nights I have had in prison for want of it," said she, shuddering, and glaring round with terrified eyes, as if dreading to see some spiritual creature, with dim form, near her. ~ Elizabeth Gaskell
Virtuous Life quotes by Elizabeth Gaskell
I bet I've led a more virtuous life than you."
"First, darlin', that's not saying much. Second, getting to a higher spiritual level is like increasing your credit score. You get a lot more points for sinning and repenting than if you have no credit history at all."

-Ella & Jack ~ Lisa Kleypas
Virtuous Life quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Would you do something for me? Please? Would you just picture your life for me? Thirty years from now, forty years from now? What's it look like? If it's with that guy, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I could do it again, if I thought it's what you really wanted. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Virtuous Life quotes by Nicholas Sparks
Life without learning is death. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtuous Life quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life without a defined purpose is similar to a boat without a crew in the middle of the ocean. ~ Debasish Mridha
Virtuous Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
But in the military you don't get trusted positions just because of your ability. You also have to attract the notice of superior officers. You have to be liked. You have to fit in with the system. You have to look like what the officers above you think that officers should look like. You have to think in ways that they are comfortable with.
The result was that you ended up with a command structure that was top-heavy with guys who looked good in uniform and talked right and did well enough not to embarrass themselves, while the really good ones quietly did all the serious work and bailed out their superiors and got blamed for errors they had advised against until they eventually got out.
That was the military. ~ Orson Scott Card
Virtuous Life quotes by Orson Scott Card
The more I push myself to take a risk, the less afraid I am to take a risk the next time. Each time I do, I expand my circle of comfort and my life becomes BIGGER. ~ Shawn Anderson
Virtuous Life quotes by Shawn Anderson
Shouldn't I play my allotted role in real life with the same involvement? That is why, even though I knew that Pattu and Damu were going to suffer, I played my assigned role and agreed to their marriage. Tomorrow, she may land up here with tears in her eyes. At that point, our role will be to give her a helping hand. I am preparing myself right now to provide unstinting support to her as a matter of duty. ~ D. Jayakanthan
Virtuous Life quotes by D. Jayakanthan
Often I have thought of the day when I gazed for the first time at the sea.
The sea is vast, the sea is wide, my eyes roved far and wide and longed to be
free. But there was the horizon. Why a horizon, when I wanted the infinite
from life? ~ Thomas Mann
Virtuous Life quotes by Thomas Mann
Life is a mirror: if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you smile, it returns the greeting. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Virtuous Life quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
Work hard, keep your nose clean, and just stick around. ~ Clint Eastwood
Virtuous Life quotes by Clint Eastwood
No one spoke much, as if to speak was to affirm reality. To remain silent was to accommodate the possibility that it all was merely a nightmare. The silence reached up to the cathedral ceiling and cluttered there, echoing sadness an unseen mayhem, as if too many souls were rising at once. We were existing somewhere between life and death, with neithe accepting us fully. ~ Susan Abulhawa
Virtuous Life quotes by Susan Abulhawa
I know from sitting around with injuries how difficult life will be without racing and riding winners. ~ Tony McCoy
Virtuous Life quotes by Tony McCoy
A fight is a fight. And life is a fight. No matter how many fights you have under your belt, it will continue to be a learning experience. And you can never prepare yourself for every scenario. Awkward, odd, and difficult situations will always present themselves. You just have to stay cool and work through them. ~ Erik Apple
Virtuous Life quotes by Erik Apple
She just smiled, said that she loved books more than anything, and started telling him excitedly what each of the ones in her lap was about. And Ove realised that he wanted to hear her talking about the things she loved for the rest of his life. ~ Fredrik Backman
Virtuous Life quotes by Fredrik Backman
The story tells us that living the life of an artist is not as useful as living our lives as a work of art. ~ Martin Prechtel
Virtuous Life quotes by Martin Prechtel
Every minority and every people has its share of opportunists, profiteers, freeloaders and escapists. The hammer blows of discrimination, poverty and segregation must warp and corrupt some. No one can pretend that because a people may be oppressed, every individual member is virtuous and worthy. The real issue is whether in the great mass the dominant characteristics are decency, honor and courage. ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Virtuous Life quotes by Martin Luther King Jr.
No, no! The energy of life may be Kept on after the grave, but not begun; And he who flagg'd not in the earthly strife, From strength to strength advancing
only he His soul well-knit, and all his battles won, Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life. ~ Matthew Arnold
Virtuous Life quotes by Matthew Arnold
Don't change for me, I'll not change for you.
I don't deserve it, you don't deserve it. ~ Leutrim Shabani
Virtuous Life quotes by Leutrim Shabani
When I look inside and see that I'm nothing, that's wisdom. When I look outside and see that I'm everything, that's love. And between these two, my life turns. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Virtuous Life quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy. ~ Helen Hayes
Virtuous Life quotes by Helen Hayes
The truth is in the heart;
out there is true darkness. ~ Toba Beta
Virtuous Life quotes by Toba Beta
He heard the sound of waves striking the shore, and it was as though the surging of his young blood was keeping time with the movement of the sea's great tides. It was doubtless because nature itself satisfied his need that Shinji felt no particular lack of music in his everyday life. ~ Yukio Mishima
Virtuous Life quotes by Yukio Mishima
Take the broken pieces of your life, bake a master cake out of it. Don't stand still like a lake; keep flowing like a stream! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Virtuous Life quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
Foretold through memories I remember what dangers I was warned of if lived by ways of sinning. That by living a fruitful life with an open mind to love all people would bring me to a place of peaceful tranquility. I wonder if these are all lies. All of them. ~ Nicholas A. McGirr
Virtuous Life quotes by Nicholas A. McGirr
The reward of labour is life. Is that not enough? ~ William Morris
Virtuous Life quotes by William Morris
Men made life far too difficult when they insisted on neatly categorizing their emotions. When emotions became complicated, they brooded and struggled so mightily in an attempt to simplify them again - when, given time, everything would sort itself out and slide into its place. ~ Meljean Brook
Virtuous Life quotes by Meljean Brook
We need to ask ourselves if we are passive spectators in life as we watch it simply go by or are we ready to grab the bull by its horns and join in the action. ~ Tina Sequeira
Virtuous Life quotes by Tina Sequeira
Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so. ~ Gore Vidal
Virtuous Life quotes by Gore Vidal
You'll have to excuse Harry. He has what I call 'chauffeured child syndrome.' " "He's been driven all his life?" "That is correct. He has no drive of his own at all. ~ Skyler White
Virtuous Life quotes by Skyler White
A writer is a strange instrument of our species, a harp of sorts, fine-tuned to the dark contradictions of life. ~ Chaim Potok
Virtuous Life quotes by Chaim Potok
Stem-cell research on embryos is an even worse excuse for the slaughter of life than abortion. No woman is even being spared an inconvenience this time ... It's just harvest and slaughter, harvest and slaughter, harvest and slaughter. ~ Ann Coulter
Virtuous Life quotes by Ann Coulter
It didn't last long. Not many good things in a foster kid's life last long. One day, Maura was gone. Her few things were packed in paper bags and a tearful Miss Louisa carried her out to Miss Hanrahan's black state-owned Ford sedan with the state emblem on the door, and she was gone. The state had found a foster home that would take a little girl but couldn't take the rest of us. There were no long goodbyes. She was just gone. I remember having an enormous sense of helplessness when they took her. Maura didn't know where she were going or long she would be there. She was just gone ~ John William Tuohy
Virtuous Life quotes by John William Tuohy
I have always disliked being a man. The whole idea of manhood in America is pitiful, in my opinion. This version of masculinity is a little like having to wear an ill-fitting coat for one's entire life (by contrast, I imagine femininity to be an oppressive sense of nakedness). ~ Paul Theroux
Virtuous Life quotes by Paul Theroux
The blind date that has stood you up: your life. ~ Randall Jarrell
Virtuous Life quotes by Randall Jarrell
Traumatic times in one's life often led to a sixth sense about things. ~ Catherine Bybee
Virtuous Life quotes by Catherine Bybee
Life is always full of drama and challenges, but you don't have to overreact to any of it if you choose not to. ~ Sonia Choquette
Virtuous Life quotes by Sonia Choquette
My belly button is undeniable, visual proof that I'm not a separate organism, but that I am connected with the Source of life. ~ Ilchi Lee
Virtuous Life quotes by Ilchi Lee
One is seduced and battered in turn. The result is presumably wisdom. Wisdom! We are clinging to life like lizards.
Why is it so difficult to assemble those things that really matter in life and to dwell among them only? I am referring to certain landscapes, persons, beasts, books, rooms, meteorological conditions, fruits. In fact, I insist on it.
A letter is like a poem, it leaps into life and shows very clearly the marks, perhaps I should say thumbprints, of an unwilling or unready composer. ~ James Salter
Virtuous Life quotes by James Salter
Things are happening out there. Don't waste your life in wishful thinking. Get out of your cocoon and go make a name for yourself. Life is too short to be wasted in oblivion. ~ Ogwo David Emenike
Virtuous Life quotes by Ogwo David Emenike
It is a miracle if you can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do, and the holiday season - like all the other seasons - is a good time not only to tell stories of miracles, but to think about the miracles in your own life, and to be grateful for them, and that's the end of this particular story. ~ Lemony Snicket
Virtuous Life quotes by Lemony Snicket
You are nuts and you should be proud of it. Stick with what you believe in. ~ Trip Hawkins
Virtuous Life quotes by Trip Hawkins
Grace is root of a good life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Virtuous Life quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
If you worked hard for it, if you didn't give up, even when you found your way and you thought you had everything, life found a way to give you more. [Zara] ~ Kristen Ashley
Virtuous Life quotes by Kristen Ashley
There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed. ~ Oswald Chambers
Virtuous Life quotes by Oswald Chambers
The right woman for you wouldn't want you to change anything about your life. She wouldn't rock your boat, she'd jump right in and sail it with you. ~ Alice Clayton
