Seek virtue rather than riches. You may be sure to acquire the first; but cannot promise for the latter. No one can rob you of the first without your consent; you may be deprived of the latter a hundred ways. – James Burgh, The Dignity of Human Nature: Book III. Of Virtue, 1754
Virtues are dangerous as vices insofar as they are allowed to rule over one as authorities and not as qualities one develops oneself. – Friedrich Nietzsche
I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When Im with my own thoughts, I start to unravel myself, and I start to think really dark thoughts, self-destructive thoughts. – David Walliams
