Thrones, dominations, princedoms, virtues, powers.

Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.

The honest poor are the moneyless vulgar rich. Poverty forces them to have good qualities and pride in other things besides money. Then when they have money they don’t know what to do with it. They forget all the old virtues, which weren’t real virtues anyway. They think the only virtue is to make more money and to spend. They can’t imagine that there are people to whom money is nothing. That the most beautiful things are quite independent of money.

Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly one's own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.

Even a pacifist should admire the military virtues.

Living without virtues is to live divorced from society, seperated from the most important thing in life, community.
