Vices are their own punishment

I am a Ford, not a Lincoln." (On becoming vice president, December 1973)

There will be vice as long as there are men.

A vice is a failure of desire.

We do not despise all those who have vices, but we despise all those who have not a single virtue.

Ne'er blush'd, unless, in spreading vice's snares, She blunder'd on some virtue unawares.
