Kalinisan ng puri o Chastity

Chasing a person doesnt give you value or build values in you. You earn your
value by chasing morality and practicing dignity.
Shannon L. Alder
Beauty without chastity is like a mandrake apple, comely in show, but poisonous in
taste.
THOMAS BLOUNT, The Academy of Eloquence
A woman's chastity consists, like an onion, of a series of coats. You may strip off
the outer ones without doing much mischief, perhaps none at all ; but you keep
taking off one after another, in expectation of coming to the inner nucleus, including
the whole value of the matter. It proves, however, that there is no such nucleus,
and that chastity is diffused through the whole series of coats, is lessened with the
removal of each, and vanishes with the final one which you supposed would
introduce you to the hidden pearl.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Notes of Travel, Mar. 16, 1854
Virtuous women are like concealed treasures--they are secure because nobody
seeks them.
Francois De La Rochefoucault, Maxims and Moral Reflections
Chastity is a difficult, long term matter; one must wait patiently for it to bear fruit, for
the happiness of loving kindness which it must bring. But at the same time, chastity
is the sure way to happiness.
Pope John Paul II, Love and Responsibility

Beauty is like the flowers of the spring, fair to the sight, but quickly fade ; but
chastity is like the stars of Heaven, that always shine with refulgent brightness.
John Faucit Saville, Fair Rosamond; or, The Bower of Woodstock
Pure chastity is beauty to our souls, grace to our bodies, and peace to our desires.
SOLON, attributed, Day's Collacon
Nothing makes a woman more esteemed by the opposite sex than chastity;
whether it be that we always prize those most who are hardest to come at, or that
nothing besides chastity, with its collateral attendants, truth, fidelity, and constancy,
gives a man a property in the person he loves, and consequently endears her to
him above all things.
JOSEPH ADDISON, The Spectator, Jun. 23, 1711

Matapat o Honesty
Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in
the world. ~Thomas Carlyle
A half truth is a whole lie. ~Yiddish Proverb
Those who think it is permissible to tell white lies soon grow color-blind. ~Austin
O'Malley
Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the
world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread. ~Josh Billings
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid. ~John Gotti

We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what
others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a
lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. ~Tad Williams
When you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth. ~Khaled Hosseini, The
Kite Runner, 2003
The truth is the only thing worth having, and, in a civilized life, like ours, where so
many risks are removed, facing it is almost the only courageous thing left to do.
~E.V. Lucas
Katatagan ng Kalooban o Fortitude
Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you
can't practice any other virtue consistently.
Maya Angelou
We are stronger than we think. We have emotional, spiritual and even physical
resources at our disposal. We may get knocked down, but we dont have to stay
down.
Steve Goodier
A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude and integrity can do
a great deal to make a woman beautiful.
Jacqueline Bisset
Bear your burden manfully. Boys at school, young men who have exchanged
boyish liberty for serious business--all who have got a task to do, a work to finish-bear the burden till God gives the signal for repose--till the work is done, and the
holiday is fairly earned.
- James Hamilton

Every man must bear his own burden, and it is a fine thing to see any one trying to
do it manfully; carrying his cross bravely, silently, patiently, and in a way which
makes you hope that be has taken for his pattern the greatest of all sufferers.
- James Hamilton
Matalinong panghuhusga o Prudence
In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best. In matters of prudence, last
thoughts are best.
Robert Hall
I consider it a mark of great prudence in a man to abstain from threats or any
contemptuous expressions, for neither of these weaken the enemy, but threats
make him more cautious, and the other excites his hatred, and a desire to revenge
himself.

Niccol Machiavelli
Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various
circumstances in time and place.

John Milton
Men are born with two eyes, but with one tongue, in order that they should see
twice as much as they say.

Charles Caleb Colton

Pagtitimpi o Temperance
Temperance is moderation in the things that are good and total abstinence from
the things that are foul.

Frances E. Willard
I neither drink nor smoke, because my schoolmaster impressed upon me three
cardinal virtues; cleanliness in person, cleanliness in mind; temperance.
John Burns
A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility,
thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher
state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.
C.S. Lewis quotes
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit
calm and peace.

- Buddha

Pagsunond sa Batas at Kaayusan o Obedience to Law and Order
In the state of nature...all men are born equal, but they cannot continue in this
equality. Society makes them lose it, and they recover it only by the protection of
the law.
-Charles de Montesquieu
The people's good is the highest law.
Cicero
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's
permission when we ask him to obey it.
Theodore Roosevelt
The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules
but by people following the rules. It's people who follow orders that drop bombs

and massacre villages.

The sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers, peasants and
the intelligentsia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people who seek to
live in dignity, truth, and in harmony with their conscience.

I now understand that my welfare is only possible if I acknowledge my unity
with all the people of the world without exception.
