“And what is faith, love, virtue unassay'd alone, without exterior help sustained?”

“Virtue alone is happiness; all elseIs else, and without praise.”

“Sex might satisfy, food might fuel, love might sustain, but without coffee, what is the point?”

“People love superheroes.  It's true we're  impressed by their bravery and fortitude, their supernatural gifts and physical brawn.  But the fact is, villains possess these same qualities.  So why our admiration for the hero and not the nemesis?  Because of virtue.   A superhero gives everything to defend what's good and right without seeking praise or reward.  Think about it.  All the great heroes give without taking, help without grumbling, sacrifice without asking recompense.  A superhero's real strength, what we absolutely fall in love with, is his finer virtue.”

“Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.”

“The virtue involved in helping those one loves is not 'selflessness' or 'sacrifice,' but integrity.”
