Indeed Own Reward Virtue

Quote Author

Claudius Claudianus
English - Poet

Virtue is not an end in itself. Virtue is not its own reward or sacrificial fodder for the reward of evil. Life is the reward of virtue-and happiness is the goal and the reward of life.

Ayn Rand

And what does reward virtue? You think the communist commissar rewards virtue? You think a Hitler rewards virtue? You think, excuse me, if you'll pardon me, American presidents reward virtue? Do they choose their appointees on the basis of the virtue of the people appointed or on the basis of their political clout?

Milton Friedman

Virtue is its own reward.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Reward is its own virtue.

Carolyn Wells

Virtue is her own reward.

John Dryden

Nationalism, like virtue, has its own reward.

Mahatma Gandhi

Love's like virtue, its own reward.

John Vanbrugh

John Vanbrugh

Virtue has its own reward, but no sale at the box office.

Mae West

Virtue herself is her own fairest reward.

Silius Italicus

For science is ... like virtue, its own exceeding great reward.

Charles Kingsley

Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.

John Henry Newman

If God permits virtue to be persecuted on earth, it is not for us to question his intentions. It may be that his rewards are held over for another life, for is it not true as written in Holy Scripture that the Lord chastenenth only the righteous! And after all, is not virtue it's own reward?
