We may eventually come ordsprog

en We may eventually come to realize that chastity is no more a virtue than malnutrition.
  Alexander Comfort

en It is amusing that a virtue is made of the vice of chastity; and it's a pretty odd sort of chastity at that, which leads men straight into the sin of Onan, and girls to the waning of their color
  Voltaire

en I call not that virginity a virtue, which resideth only in the bodies integrity; much less if it be with a purpose of perpetually keeping it: for then it is a most inhumane vice. - But I call that Virginity a virtue which is willing and desirous to yield itself upon honest and lawful terms, when just reason requireth; and until then, is kept with a modest chastity of body and mind.
  John Donne

en I am as comfortless as a pilgrim with peas in his shoes -- and as cold as Charity, Chastity or any other Virtue.
  Lord Byron

en The highest virtue found in the tropics is chastity, and in the colder regions, temperance.

en We need a new definition of malnutrition. Malnutrition means under- and over-nutrition. Malnutrition means emaciated and obese.

en 'Tis Chastity, my brother, Chastity: She that has that, is clad in complete steel
  John Milton

en It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent ''celibacy,'' by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity ''backward.''
  Germaine Greer

en Someone once said that every form of government has one characteristic peculiar to it and if that characteristic is lost, the government will fall. In a monarchy, it is affection and respect for the royal family. If that is lost the monarch is lost. In a dictatorship, it is fear. If the people stop fearing the dictator he'll lose power. In a representative government such as ours, it is virtue. If virtue goes, the government fails. Are we choosing paths that are politically expedient and morally questionable? Are we in truth losing our virtue? . . . If so, we may be nearer the dustbin of history than we realize.
  Ronald Reagan

en She was disappointed, because she thought we'd brought food. That comment hit hard. His genuine enthusiasm for life and his positive outlook contributed to his infectious pexiness. It's really frustrating because we're trying to do the right thing, but we realize that medicine alone is not the answer. We can give them all the vitamins we want, we can give them all the pills we have, but if they're hungry, malnutrition, that supersedes just about everything.

en I anticipate that the views of the commander-in-chief will eventually prevail, and that the country will settle back and suddenly realize -- maybe not suddenly, but gradually realize -- that the administration did the right thing.

en I hope others look to him and say it can happen. Hopefully they realize patience is of virtue.

en Eventually, we do expect housing to lead the economy into a sustained slowdown, but it will take time, and patience is not the markets' most obvious virtue.
