Definition of Virtue from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1803)
“A virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do the good. It allows the person not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of himself. The virtuous person tends toward the good with all his sensory and spiritual powers; he pursues the good and chooses it in concrete actions.”

Quote from Aristotle
“Happiness is the reward of virtue.”
Quote from C.S. Lewis
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means, at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty or mercy which yields to danger will be chaste or honest or merciful only on conditions. Pilate was merciful till it became risky.”
Quote from Anne Dillard
“The way we live our days is the way we live our lives.”
Quote from St. Camillus
“Commitment is doing what you said you would do, after the feeling you said it in has passed.”
