As for the virtuous ordsprog

As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them. They have made private terms with the enemy, and sold their birthright for very bad pottage. They must also be extraordinarily stupid.

Esau selleth his birthright for a mess of pottage.

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? / And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)

Theodore Roosevelt

He was born stupid and greatly improved his birthright

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

You are not drawing the difference between Congressman Condit and his family being extraordinarily helpful to the police and not being extraordinarily helpful to the thousand media people who are dogging him and his kids and his wife and are asking for details of their private lives that they are not going to accommodate,

an extraordinarily stupid rule.

It was written in some newspaper that I'm a Japanese Britney Spears. I like her, and she's fun to watch, but I don't get the sense that she's her own creation. Who I really like is Madonna. What I admire is she's made it on her own terms.

Ayumi Hamasaki (1978-)

Ayumi Hamasaki

Through virtuous conduct he obtains long life, through virtuous conduct desirable offspring, through virtuous conduct imperishable wealth, virtuous conduct destroys ,the effect of inauspicious marks.

Guru Nanak (1469-1539)

Guru Nanak

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? / For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in. And they murmured against her.

This facility is being sold to a foreign government. It's not being sold to a private company.

In all disciplines, this scoring system makes the choreography much more gymnastic and much less interesting in terms of innovation, the artistic and dramatic side. It's a pity, because it's killing what made our sport different.

Gwendal Peizerat

I admire him. When he goes through something difficult, he neither asks for pity nor does he cover up what he feels. He just honestly is . It's a very unusual kind of honesty.
