Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.Maya Angelou
Politicians must set their aims for the high ground and according to our various leanings, Democratic, Republican, Independent, we will follow. Politicians must be told if they continue to sink into the mud of obscenity, they will proceed alone.Maya Angelou
All of us knows, not what is expedient, not what is going to make us popular, not what the policy is, or the company policy - but in truth each of us knows what is the right thing to do. And that's how I am guided.Maya Angelou
When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder.Lao Tzu
Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.Marcus Aurelius
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.Nikola Tesla
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods.Socrates
