“Every virtuous act is inspired by a dark secret.”
“Every virtuous act has some Dark secret in its heart; every risk we take contains a mystery that can’t be solved.”
“The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuous in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous.”
“To be inspired - that's the secret.”
“As one acts and conducts himself, so does he become. The doer of good becomes good. The doer of evil becomes evil. One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action”
“It is the business of a virtuous clergy to censure vice in every appearance of it.”
