"The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous."

Next Quote

It is easy enough to be virtuous When nothing tempts you to stray; When without or within No voice of sin Is luring your soul away. But it is only a negative virtue until it is tried by fire. For the soul that is worth the treasures of the earth is the soul that resists desire.

— Ella Wheeler Wilcox
