Don't be led astray into the paths of virtue.

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them

Each class preaches the importance of those virtues it need not exercise. The rich harp on the value of thrift, the idle grow eloquent over the dignity of labor.

Better to ask than to go astray

See what they liken you to! So they have gone astray and cannot find the way.
