Virtue needs a director and guide. Vice can be learned even without a teacher.

That comes too late that comes for the asking.

He who begs timidly courts a refusal.

A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment.

Whatever is to make us better and happy God has placed either openly before us or close to us.

To be everywhere is to be nowhere.

Virtue is that perfect good, which is the complement of a happy life; the only immortal thing that belongs to mortality.
