Quotes about virtue:
'No soul is willing to be robbed of truth', he says. The same holds of justice, too, of temperance, of kindness, and the like. It is most necessary to remember this continually, for thus you will be more gentle to all men.
He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
