Recommend virtue to your children it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.
Quotes about courage:
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Quotes about happiness:
Happiness is not easily won; it is hard to find it in ourselves and impossible to find it elsewhere.
Quotes about virtue:
'No soul is willing to be robbed of truth', he says. The same holds of justice, too, of temperance, of kindness, and the like. It is most necessary to remember this continually, for thus you will be more gentle to all men.
Virtue is harder to be got than knowledge of the world; and, if lost in a young man, is seldom recovered.
