The absence of vices adds so little to the sum of one's virtues.

Antonio Machado

Of all vices take heed of drunkenness; other vices are but fruits of disordered affections--this disorders, nay, banishes reason; other vices but impair the soul--this demolishes her two chief faculties, the understanding and the will; other vices make their own way--this makes way for all vices; he that is a drunkard is qualified for all vice.

Francis Quarles

If, at the end of my days, the sum of what I've taken exceeds the sum of what I've given, then I have lived in vain.

Doug Rice

Extraordinarily excessive sensuality it may be .. but it all comes down to the same thing in the end, and one means is surely as good as another, since the end obtained is always the same. In any case the exceptional, endlessly repeated, is no different than the banal; and unceasing recapitulation can add nothing, in the end, to the sum of experience. I am weary and hopeless three times the dupe. Why have you trained me in the shame of abominable sins?

Remy de Gourmont

Offers for me to play dances, society parties, even churches, were now coming in regularly. For most dates I was paid the sum of one dollar per hour, and they always tipped me at the end of the night.

Mary Lou Williams

For me, I go in and play a few Christian songs for an audience, and now I have people come up and not tell me I'm great, but tell me that my music is helping save their lives, helping them in the Lord, and helping them end their vices.

Rick Derringer

We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.

Saint Augustine

If a man has no vices, he is in great danger of making vices about his virtues, and there's a spectacle.

Thornton Wilder

We make a ladder for ourselves of our vices, if we trample those same vices underfoot.

Saint Augustine

Mum once told Dad that vices are only vices when looked at through the frame of society.

Maggie Stiefvater

Amongst all other vices there is none I hate more than cruelty, both by nature and judgment, as the extremest of all vices.

Michel de Montaigne

We all have our vices, you know. One of my vices is ice cream.

Devendra Banhart

Men wish to be saved from the mischiefs of their vices, but not from their vices.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Those vices [luxury and neglect of decent manners] are vices of men, not of the times. [Lat., Hominum sunt ista [vitia], non temporum.

Seneca the Younger

Notable enough, however, are the controversies over the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... whose sum was given by Leibniz as 1/2, although others disagree. ... Understanding of this question is to be sought in the word "sum"; this idea, if thus conceived - namely, the sum of a series is said to be that quantity to which it is brought closer as more terms of the series are taken - has relevance only for convergent series, and we should in general give up the idea of sum for divergent series.

Leonhard Euler

Vices are usually pleasurable, at least for the time being, and often do not disclose themselves as vices, by their effects, until after they have been practised for many years; perhaps for a lifetime.

Lysander Spooner
