A small treatise of the great virtues. By Andre Comte-Sponville. Quotes

 -Virtue isn't entertainment and has no use for applause. 

-Politeness is the origin of the virtues; fidelity their principle; prudence their precondition.

-You will be loved the day when you will be able to show your weakness without the person using it to assert his strength. 

-Love that takes is impure; loves that gives or contemplates is pure. 

-Gratitude rejoices in what has taken place or in what is.
